earthspirits: (Dracula & Mina 2)
[personal profile] earthspirits
The exquisite costumes for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) were designed by Eiko Ishioka. That year, she won the Oscar for Costume Design, and deservedly so. Her work for this film was truly amazing.

For this post, I'll be discussing costumes for the characters of Dracula and Mina / Elisabeta. They each had a lot of intricate costumes (too many for one post), so I'll just be focusing on those that connect them as a couple.

Please note that my essay contains spoilers for the film.
Warnings: There's discussion of death, suicide, and reincarnation, all related to the true love of the characters. One costume photo depicts a character death.
