Each year FIDM, the Fashion Institute of Design, displays the Academy Award nominees for best costuming. She spotted them setting up the display in WETA‘s area. This group of costumes includes Aragorn’s and Arwen’s Coronation outfits, the Witch King, an Orc, Merry’s & Pippin’s uniforms/liveries, and I think, King Theoden.
Month: July 2004

Check out Ghân-buri-Ghân, Radagast’s Staff, Anárion, Erkenbrand & Tom Bombadil’s Hat! [More]
