TheeMigs posted, “The costumes from Bram Stroker’s Dracula have got to be some of my favorites I’ve ever seen… such amazing attention to detail and time period. Eiko will be sorely missed.”
Spike413 wrote, “She was absolutely brilliant. Most of the reason I forced myself to sit through the The Cell was to see her work, which was absolutely breathtaking. I also loved her work for Dracula and The Fall. Such a loss to film, to fashion and to art in general.”
In addition to her film work, Ishioka has a history of uniform and costume design for the Olympics, and costume design for performers such a Grace Jones and Bjork. Her creativity will surely be missed, but it’s a small comfort to know that we’ll be able to enjoy her new work in Mirror, Mirror. Click here to view the trailer and marvel at the beautifully intricate costumes.
