Bestiary

1 min read

For Indonesian costume designer Nisrina Izlachi, garments are never merely decorative. They are stories.

Izlachi's work is guided by character, texture, and the emotional lives hidden within clothing.

She approaches costume as an extension of storytelling, using fabric and silhouette to reveal what often remains unspoken.

For Bestiary, Izlachi developed the film's wardrobe with an emphasis on subtle transformation.

The costumes accompany the characters as they move between reality and performance, reflecting their changing identities and emotional states.

The Weight of Appearance

A film about actors and performance naturally places great significance on clothing.

In Bestiary, costume becomes another layer of meaning, quietly shaping how characters understand themselves and how they are perceived by others.
