Inspired by the film Thor Ragnarok, the costumes of Orlando Paladino are a mix of science fiction, modern fashion, 80s rock, and Norse mythology. The costumes use a cool jewel-toned color palette loosely inspired by the infinity stones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Social and economic class is distinguished not only through silhouette and fabric quality, but also through garment decoration and ornamentation. The costumes use asymmetric detailing with a rich textural palette. The costumes also include several headpieces, all collaboratively designed, and 3D printed with the Animatronic and Wigs & Makeup departments.
