I think every costume on this show is incredibly thought about and impressive.

It's kind of a free for all because it's this alternative world.

To-infinitive

It's a real pleasure to have all these things designed and made.

The clothes you wear determine the way people see you.

It was interesting, the style of the show and the sort of period because it's not set in

a particular period again. It's kind of that freedom to explore. It sort of could be 40's,

but we pushed the boundaries of that and modernised it slightly.

That era where you're never without a shirt and a tie, you know even if you're

not wearing a suit you've got a shirt and a tie on.

And this might be one of the only times you don't see his shirt and tie.

You have to find a logic and there has to be a logic within Lyra's world.

We've dressed people in non-definable clothing.

It's trying to mix up things that exist and create a look that you'd believe but is timeless.

There's different technologies in Lyra's world.

They travel by zeppelin so there would be certain things,

fabrics and technology that exist in Lyra's world.

So then that will influence how people dress.

Costumes are really interesting. There's something slightly military to him,

even though he's been a theologian and he is a scientist.

He's also an adventurer and explorer and I think we've reflected that really well.

I loved the first costume of all of them.

But then I got my beautiful fur coat, which is a bit of a pain when you're

doing location and it's boiling hot in September but it's great for when you're at the studio

Caroline is an incredible designer and we had good fun actually, because

the gypsies are so cool. You'll see when you see all of the extras and everything.

So we do, we have a great old time with our costumes.

I think my character looks well cool. This jacket is sick.

We had to make a costume that would look of the earth, of the forest.

Like she had just wrapped rags around her,

but also be sturdy enough for her to fly, for me to have a harness underneath my costume.

I'm in awe of them. It really helps me as an actor.

Yeah man, I have never dressed more badass in my life.

I've worn blouses on stage, I've worn guayaberas on stage,

but going cowboy is very much my aesthetic. I'm very much enjoying it.

And the best thing about this job is that you know that she's gonna look good.

I mean everything's been made for me as well, so it's a real

pleasure to have all these things designed and made.
