Mirror Mirror (2012) Official Trailer/ Relativity Media

Eiko Ishioka’s costumes are richly detailed and sumptuously executed constructions, which bring the impossible luxury of fairy tales to life and highlight the aspirational nature of stories in which characters rise above servitude to a life of privilege and financial security.

A romantic fairy tale requires a wardrobe to match. Dress is critical to the identity of many
fairy‑tale characters, signposting status or profession and signalling magical transformation. ‘Fairy Tales’ showcases eight incredible creations by Japanese designer Eiko Ishioka from 'Mirror Mirror' (2012).

On display in ‘Fairy Tales’, Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Brisbane / Tarsem Singh’s fractured retelling of the Brothers Grimm’s ‘Snow White’ is narrated by the wicked and insecure Queen Clementianna (Julia Roberts). When her headstrong stepdaughter Princess Snow (Lily Collins) is abandoned in the woods and threatened by the mysterious beast which terrorises the icy kingdom, she is adopted by a team of seven bandit outcasts who train her as a fighter. With extraordinary costumes by Japanese designer Eiko Ishioka, this joyous romp brings a fresh and nuanced approach to the archetypal characters of the beloved fairy tale.
