While I was creating an artwork, I was so stressed because it did not turn in a way that I imagined it to look like. At one part of the episode in Abstract: Art of Design, Ruth Carter shared her answer when people ask her about her process in designing costumes for Black Panther, she was like, “Oh, yeah! I go home and cry in my pillow every night because I’m scared.” Her sensitivity and empathy are what make her work amazing. Ruth Carter definitely does not only tell stories of culture and personality through her designs but also making sure that they are historically correct.
In Black Panther, the clothes of every character in the film have been greatly influenced by the clothing of earlier African tribes. In totality, the clothes that she designs for a character must show their personality and history. I love the fact that she gives utmost attention to every detail in each costume she design. She also addresses the prejudice that she designs costumes because she loves fashion or sewing.
Ruth wanted the clothes to look like something that those people would wear if it was in real life. She shared that she does not want the clothes that she designs to be labeled as ‘costumes’. Ruth Carter is the costume designer for the film Black Panther and many more films. ‘Cause I’ll be wounded with Ruth’s beauty, learning, love I’m gonna look in a mirror each time I pass oneĪnd dare anyone to be an authority on me. I’ve taken daytime nighttime rhetoric seriouslyĪnd been wounded by lovers of slick black rapping. I’ve known the cracker to be seriously dangerous. I’ve taken school, parents, friends, poets seriously. These are words from designer Ruth Carter’s poem Seriously. She performed Seriously in her own episode on Abstract: The Art of Design Season 2.
