Dege & Skinner, the tailors to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, have created three Char costumes, costing the equivalent of almost $10,000 each.
The three uniforms are to be displayed at the “Mobile Suit Gundam x Isetan Welcome to Zeon” exhibition in Shinjuku, which opens on the 25th of April, during Golden Week. The fabric in the jacket and trousers is the same used by the Queen’s Guard, and each suit costs ¥864,000. The quality of the embroidery is said to have moved at least one craftsman to tears.
The white suit and purple Oxford shirt from Gundam Build Fighters is also set to be put on display, being valued at a more modest ¥183,600.
The exhibition, at the Isetan Shinjuku store, runs from the 25th of April until the 6th of May.
Doesn’t look like much on a hangar. They should have had someone model it and tailor it to his measurements if they wanted to impress people.
Where is the helmet and awesome shades just in case?!
Pfft..
From a tailors perspective, it looks fantastic. But I agree, this needed a model.
He definitely should have hired a model.
Made by the queen’s tailors, so they should have the queen model it!
I’m not seeing the quality to warrant the price.
Only tells me how much more a cosplayer is capable of. Be proud of your work.
its made by queen’s tailor not cosplayer, u dumdum
Queen’s tailor and cosplayer are not mutually exclusive.
Except they are in this case, so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to gold onto.
Well..that’s the royal craftsmen there.
I know, it might not look like much, but this stuff is basically like real uniform now.
Not a copy made for sake of appearance.
All these plebs who think they know anything about fashion.
