Absolutely, a costume is like a whole vibe that walks onto the stage— it tells a story before you even speak. When you choose a look, you’re giving your character a language of its own, letting every color, texture, and silhouette hint at their past, their mood, their power. It’s not just about grabbing attention; it’s about shaping how the audience feels about that person, like adding a secret layer to the narrative. So next time you’re designing a look, think of it as a character whispering in the back of the audience’s mind.
