The Voices of Liberty have debuted all-new themed costumes today, departing from their business casual wear of the past few years. Disney recently offered a sneak peek at the process of creating the new themed costumes, and the Voices of Liberty debuted the new looks today. Here’s a look!
Voices of Liberty New Costumes
First, here’s a look at the costumes that the Voices of Liberty have been wearing the past few years.
And here’s a look at the new costumes, which were created to create a cohesive look that celebrated the grandness of the rotunda in which they perform. When it came to the color palette, Disney costume designers found inspiration from a vintage American flag. This allowed them to create unique looks for each performer while still coordinating with the whole group, illustrating the way in which individual voices come together as one.
One of the most important aspects of costume design is ensuring the garments are visually stunning yet functional for the performers who will wear them daily while singing. The design features a streamlined, architectural energy, so it was essential to select fabrics that could be tailored well while providing the crisp construction needed. Aubry, the Costumer for this project, sourced a sustainable fabric made from 50% or more recycled materials. “The fabric could also be custom dyed to match the exact colors chosen by our designer, allowing us to achieve the intended vision as closely as possible.”
Collaboration is key in a project like this – not just within the Costuming team, but also in partnership with the Voices of Liberty cast. “When we fit our performers for costumes, we make sure they demonstrate movements they might need to make during the show, which can vary person to person,” Aubry explained. “For example, our vocal captains use a wide range of arm movement while conducting, so comfort and mobility in the back and shoulders is of extra importance.”
