When asked why his costumes for the Doctor Who story "The Ice Warriors" (1967) were so weird, costume designer Martin Baugh said in the future maybe we spray clothes onto ourselves and because the spray machines are made out of circuitry that will influence their designs.

That's so brilliant! Better sci-fi speculating than most of the writers on the show!

I'm taking the advice of Zinthings: sometimes you just need a lizard break. And why not dress Modo Olachenko Goatmovie up? Giving him a take on the classic late 90s/early 00s goth look.

He is SO shapes!

"Costume Design (Androcles and the Lion)," Florine Stettheimer, c. 1912.

Stettheimer (1871-1944) was a poet, designer, artist, feminist, and intellectual, with a highly individual style of Modern art.

In 1912, she began to create an opera, which she titled "Orphée des Quat'z Arts," inspired by an annual ball held by Paris art students that combined an excuse to party with a chance to show off their works. They were always masquerades built around some annual theme, and were known for scandalous behavior.

Stettheimer designed costumes, sets, and a libretto for the opera, but it was never produced. However, her costume designs were some of her earliest modernist works that prefigured today's mixed-media art.

Here we have Androcles, riding the lion, only the lion is on a wheeled cart, like a huge toy. The rider, though is interesting; the costume bits are made of cloth and cellophane, and the lion's collar is lace. Stettheimer was fascinated by cellophane, then a new material, and used it a few decades later when designing costumes for Gertrude Stein's opera "Four Saints in Three Acts."
