This was fascinating, learning about all the different elements that were brought together to come up with this particular costume. I'd really love to know what elements were combined for the other costumes as well.
pretty sure Jane's is based off a traditional wedding dress and Catherine Parr has pants because she always wanted to wear the pants in the relationship
Catherine’s costume is phenomenal. If the show gets nominated for another award, I hope the actress shows up to the event in a full floor-length version, because I bet it’d be incredible.
Something i remembered when they were looking at the portrait of Anne of Cleves is that she was legitimately friends with him after they divorced. She was described as his 'sister' and there was a novel written about this. obviously horrible guy and she got possibly the best ending, but that was just a silly thing that stuck out to me when Cleves was mentioned.
She was also given precedence above all women save his present wife, Mary and Elizabeth. All because she agreed to the annulment and left peacefully. She also outlived Catherine Parr and was present at Mary's coronation.
Not at all silly - Anne of Cleves is fascinating because she not only survived Henry, she thrived! And she is remembered as a kind and generous mistress who treated (and paid!) her servants well. She’s rarely been tarnished in history, even tho it would have been easy to do so, and she’s always given a sympathetic read when people discuss her first meeting with Henry. It’s all around a fascinating story, in part because everything involving her was so abnormal to the script of the time.
Don’t know if you watched the show but her character does poke fun at this, since it is a suffering competition. Her song is entirely about how she had the best ending. Tragic, some old man rejected her and she had to go live in her own castle in Richmond with no one to boss her around 😢
@@cerisemin I haven't seen the musical yet, but she does have my favorite song. I swear it's not because of my German heritage... it's just a boss song. "I'm not fake 'cause I've got acres and acres, Paid for with my own riches, Where my hounds at? Release the b!tches (Woof)"
I love Six, and Catherine of Aragon's outfit is my favorite costume in the show. I'm so happy this video takes a close look at this costume's process. It's fascinating to see how the show's gradually increased budget has evolved the materials in the costume from the production's early days.
I never heard of it. I'm curious, how do they link Catherine of Aragon to Beyonce? And why are black women playing white women. Isn't this just reverse blackface. As a black man I find this extremely in poor taste.
Yes I would be interested in some evolution photos of what the queens wore in the original Edinburgh fringe show and onwards. Kudos to all the costumers involved.
@@phillipstroll7385 each of the six wives has a modern pop 'queenspiration' (their word). it was part of the creative process. and colour-blind casting is something the production has heavily leaned into. why is it bad taste to improve employment opportunities for non-white performers?
@@prismaticmarcus it isn't. It is in bad taste to portray white people as black just as wrong as it would be to portray Dr Martin Luther King Jr as white. There is nothing creative about it. Creative would be to create original entertainment. Not portraying real people as something they weren't. Also, my comment was to say more about the degradation of modern comprehension and less to do with ethnicity. Which again, proves my point.
Brilliant. I would love an entire documentary series on each of the Costumes for each Character. Costumer Designer Gabriella Slade (and Costumer Supervisor, Justin Allin) are really gifted! Seeing 'Six' in London in December and cannot wait!
Catherine of Aragon has my favorite costume in Six, I love how clearly all the different references read, from the 16th century fashion elements to the Beyoncé inspo. It also feels very fitting that her costume is the most reminiscent of the Tudor fashion, with that square neckline and split skirt
I often wonder how many people in the audience really appreciate the costumes. I recently went to see &Juliet and my mum contacted me after to say she had been looking it up online and then launched into a detailed discussion on the costumes. I love looking for the thoughtful elements that appear in good costume design, rather than judge on the face value. A costume is one of the most important parts in helping performers get into character.
Ah, so, historians now believe that the "she doesn't look like her portrait" story was incorrect, and the real reason Henry didn't like her is because she rejected him when he essentially broke into her room and tried to seduce her before they had even met. She either did know who he was and wasn't impressed, or didn't know and quite rightfully pushed him away. It's likely that her portrait was actually very very accurate to how she looked, as it was painted by Hans Holbein. Holbein was famous for capturing people perfectly, and not really trying to flatter his subjects in any way. The only thing I can think that might have made her portrait a bit deceptive is the angle. Holbein painted her head on, probably a very flattering angle, when he usually painted people from the side. But regardless, if it's a portrait by Holbein, then that's probably exactly what she looked like. Edit, I realise I never said Anne of Cleves, but that's who I'm on about
@@moonwalkerangel7008 cultural barrier too i think since apparently in england there was this myth about recognizing your true love when they're dressed like a pauper back in the day
@James Martin I'm not sure if you're saying that genuinely, or if you're trying to be clever, but I've worked in film, and Me Too was an incredibly necessary movement.
i had the privilege of seeing six on the west end this summer, and it was so wonderful as both a historical fashion lover and a musical lover. i think the way the costume designer adapted the historical silhouettes and details into modern pop costumes is so ingenious. bravo!!
YES this was such a good video!! I'd love to see more costume design videos from this channel, having been to the V&A I've seen some of the gorgeous costumes you have!
This is just magnificent! It was so fascinating to see the items of influence and hear the designer’s process. Thank you both for a wonderful behind the scenes video! Congrats on the K of A costume placement at the V&A!
The timing of this! I'm looking to make a cosplay of one of these amazing costumes, can't wait for the other 5 videos, they'll make excellent references. The details are exquisite!
This is so cool! The costumes have always been one of my favorite parts of the show. They stand out so much since the show doesn't have the usual "set".
bravo, this is one of the best musicals I have seen, both in performance and costume design, the actresses and band do a fantastic job at their work. can't wait to see the show again in Birmingham on Feb 28th 2023
They did phenomenally well to have all those weighty embellishments created with a fabric that moved with the dancers and still retained its shape night after night. Loved trying to spot where on the costumes the mike holders where as it’s so seamless when the girls are on stage. It would be great to have a quick overview of the other costumes. My daughter tells me Jane Seymour’s was inspired by Tudor buildings which seems right.
I saw this musical with my friends and it was really fun. I absolutely loved the outfits but I couldn't really see them in any great detail as I was sitting quite far back and my eyesight is a bit pants. So it is wonderful seeing one of them up close
Folks seem confused. If you watch, you will see this is about one (1) costume that is now a permanent part of a museum collection. This video is FROM THE MUSEUM. So, no. This is not part of a series. And, no - there will not be more of these unless the museum decides to buy more.
Fascinating. I do feel that there was one thing missing, an interview with the singer to tell us what it was like to wear. What has happened to the other costumes?
heavy seems to be the typical answer from most of the casts! also depends on the role - Aragon and Cleves are probably the hardest to perform in but Howard provides more mobility in comparison
@@cymbelinesgf The performers playing Aragon will rehearse in weighted vests to get used to the feeling of having to do all that singing and dancing while wearing the costume. They've said it weighs about ten pounds.
@@cymbelinesgf KHoward NEEDS more mobility - Aimee Atkinson had the most intense solo of the lot, and you can't dance like that and then collapse and break down crying in a 10lb suit. It's just not happening. As she's a younger character it also makes sense that her costume is lighter. I love the costumes but I really wish they weren't as heavy for everyone.
@@oldasyouromens I know, it wasn't meant to come off negatively towards Howard. Just rehashing what the various casts have said - same for Parr too with the leggings. Although, albeit I don't think it was fully intentional - the design (shape/build wise) was based off of that one look by Ariana Grande so I think it's partially good fortune that the actresses playing Howard have more mobility.
AHHHHH I didn't know about this show but this is it!!! My dream aesthetic I've been learning how to sew so I can wear it! 😭 I call it Cathedralcore. The only difference is mine will be more ivory and pink base than black, but still with the armor and stained-glass motifs. Omg, I'll just be over here taking furious notes. THANK YOU
I love Catherine of Aragon so much! Truly a regal and confident and bold queen, with so much dignity and grace. She deserved way better than that old frog Henry, they all did. And her outfit truly reflects that. What a queen.
In costume design you work with the actors but they don't always have a say. Its the art director of the show that constructs the parameters for each aspect of artistry....
Will these costumes be donated to VA, as they are retired? A donation of the costumes, combined with the multiple video interviews of the design process, often referencing the VandA, would be a fabulous “full circle” moment on exhibit…the initial History of the six wives, the various shapes and designs inspiring the modern costume of historic figures and the hours of research making the costumes feel right for the time and mood in the 21st century.
@@jimhooper4252 I’m just not sure where to start tbh. I’ve considered going to college but A) I have no clue what schools even do costume design and B) I doubt I could afford it 😞
@@ghostifypremium my friend went to the London school of fashion and now works for London studios. She has been involved with TV and even some of the Marvel movies.

As I understand it it's Beyonce for Aragorn Lily Allen for Boleyn Adele for Seymour Nicki minaj for Cleves Ariana grande for Howard And Alicia keys for Parr
I'm genuinely fascinated by the fact that the Victoria and Albert Museum, located in London, discussing an English musical about English royalty, that originated in the UK, primarily used footage of the Broadway cast and not the West End cast What a choice
I'm a little confused as you consistently show the American original cast and their costumes, but I always assumed the costumes were following on from the 2018. Did this designer do the research in 2018 and is simply showing it using the most recent outfit (as obviously it will be slightly different per actor).
Very late lol but Gabriella did the designs for the very first London production and has since reworked the costumes multiple times. The V&A bought the updated Aragon costumes so Gabriella shows off that very same. The current London Cast adapted the updated American costumes
@@valentinadevogueofficialx are you referring to All Saints Day? What does that have to do with this costume? And the story of Henry VIII? Furthermore, the calavera is a Spanish word but it comes from indigenous central and South American cultures like Aztec, Mayan, etc. The word is Spanish because the people of the area were ruled by the Spaniards in later history. But the Catholic Church in Spain did not refer to skulls and it’s population did not depict skulls around All Saints Day. Do you have an example?
I’d love to hear the creative story behind the other five costumes
