Concept

The costume design for We Will Rock You creates a futuristic, colorless Totalitarian world where individuality and the history of rock and roll have been erased. In contrast, the rebels draw inspiration from old magazines, music videos, photographs, and recordings, piecing together their own interpretation of rock culture. Their costumes combine influences from different decades of rock and roll, creating a vibrant mix of colors, textures, silhouettes, and styles. This contrast between a controlled, colorless society and the expressive, colorful rebels visually represents the power of freedom, individuality, and self-expression.
