Oh, the costumes. The costumes were an ingenious hybrid of Elizabethan-era European and stylized Eastern wear. I could spend this entire article talking about how Desdemona’s furisode complimented her empire-waist gown, or how from one angle Iago’s hat looked exactly like a kasa, but from another it could have appeared in a Zeffirelli film. ...Othello’s shogun “armor” that became actual armor... not only were they gorgeous but it made perfect visual sense.
