Hi, Please Tell Me Where Did You Get The Ideas For The Costumes Of The Characters Of The Snow Lady?

hi, please tell me where did you get the ideas for the costumes of the characters of the snow lady?

Hi! Thank you for the question! I get inspired a lot by historical pieces! I do a lot of research because I really like go treasure hunt of info and curiosities or just photos of past ages and far places. I can show you some comparison with Gerda and Kay. Here you can see some 1910s pieces:

Gerda loves to be elegant and with very fitting dresses. Her outfits are inspired by modern 1910s fashion and prefers a clean, linear silhouette more than complicated shapes. Even if she has german origins she has not any link to german traditional heritage since her family moved to Russia two or three generations ago and didn't really took much with them moving out. (they still have a german teacups and many decorated plates from their grandmother!)

Kay on the other hand has not a real piece of inspiration, but goes with a mix.

For example, his coat is inspired by these two very common russian coats:

He likes to be more decorated on the belt though, so you will always see more detail on that other than on common russian blank coats:

Other inspirations for Kay are Vaslav Nijinski's dancing outfits. I really like the shapes of the trousers and since Kay likes nice belts, he would love this kind of outfit, preferring them to common 1910 gentlemen attire. Kay mixes new and traditional ways so you will see both modern and old slavic elements in his clothing.
