When I think about crossover costumes, I believe it’s not just about merging two movies; there is often a cultural element as well. I’ve always admired the traditional Chinese Chang Pao, which is a long robe worn by men. Since the celebration takes place in Asia, I imagined creating a crossover between an imperial officer’s attire and the traditional styles found in China. This led me to design a unique mashup of an imperial officer’s look, which ultimately turned out absolutely fantastic. I intend to wear this costume at the upcoming celebration in 2025.
