Inside the African-Inspired Costumes Bringing Orïsha to Life in Children of Blood and Bone
Costume designer Charlese Antoinette Jones has unveiled the visual world of Orïsha for the film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling novel, Children of Blood and Bone. A first-look exhibition gave audiences a close view of the costumes created for the fantasy epic. The wardrobe reflects the power, heritage and status of key characters, including King Saran, Queen Nehanda, Admiral Kaea and Mama Agba. The designs also distinguish the journeys and allegiances of Zélie, Prince Inan, Princess Amari and Tzain. Drawing on African artistry, the costumes use rich textures, detailed embellishments and dramatic silhouettes to build a distinct screen identity for Orïsha. The exhibition offers an early look at how the film is translating Adeyemi’s world from page to screen.
