Maggie Lovitt at Collider talks to Andor’s costume designer Michael Wilkinson on how he managed to raise the bar to a whole new level with his costuming in the second series of the critically acclaimed Disney+ Star Wars show.
One of the crowning achievements of Andor Season 1 was the incredible costumes designed by Michael Wilkinson. With Season 2, he has somehow managed to raise the bar to a brand-new level with his costuming, outdoing the gold standard he set with the first season. Tony Gilroy’s critically acclaimed series has been lauded for its attention to detail — something that is notably present in both the narrative and the visuals of the series. There is an old adage in the costuming world about how great costuming can transform an “okay” show into a “good” show, but what happens when incredible costuming meets an incredible series? Well, you get Andor Season 2, and over 700 of the most breathtaking costumes you will ever feast your eyes on.
Following the release of the final season of Andor, I had the opportunity to spend some time chatting with Michael Wilkinson about his costume work on the series. We discussed a wide variety of things, from the thousands of pleats that went into Season 2, to Ghorlectipods, and how shoes are make-or-break for actors.
