August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Aelita, Queen of Mars / Aleksandra Peregonets as Ikhoshka

I think of this as "the bumblebee costume" because of the striped body and the headdress that reminds me of antennae. Ikhoshka is Queen Aelita's favorite servant, and she wears this elaborate framework "skirt" over a pair of baggy pantaloons. She also has ballet slippers, a chunky necklace, and something like a battery pack at her waist.

The costumes for the Martian sequences, designed by Aleksandra Ekster, are outlandish and highly imaginative. This movie was said to be a strong influence on Metropolis. You can find several versions of it free to watch on YouTube.

February: Coeli's Monochrome Picks

Aelita, Queen of Mars / Yuliya Solntseva as Aelita

Coeli's comment: "Aelita: Queen of Mars has some magnificently weird Constructivist costumes in the Martian sequence (contrasting with the dull Soviet realism of the rest of the movie!)."

The Martian costumes in this film, by Aleksandra Ekster, are indeed quite something! Here, Aelita wears a hat that's something like an umbrella spine or perhaps a radio antenna. And is the design of that bodice meant to hint that she has three breasts, or is it just a stylistic thing?

There's a cool writeup and summary of the movie here.

I featured a costume Ikhoshka, Aelita's servant (who dresses like a bumblebee in a birdcage), in a previous post.
