Game of Thrones: The Costumes: The official costume design book of Season 1 to Season 8

Great book, lots of photos and costume details, features a wide range of characters too. I’m interested in costume design and am a fan of the books and show so this was a great buy for me.

Just shows you how much attention to details was put in this show ever since day one. This book is amazing and a treat for fans of the show. The multiple Emmy winning costume design is one of the things that made Game of Thrones so unique, and this book highlights this in a very nice way.This book feels very high-quality and looks great, and could serve as a nice gift for fans of the show. I would also recommend the other two books, of the Art and the Photography, they serve as a very nice collection which again highlights how much effort was put in this incredible show. We shall never see it's like again.

This is a really great book. I’m a GoT fan and celebrant offering costumed and themed ceremonies, so I got the book to be pretty much screen-accurate when I reproduce the costumes. This book enables me to do that, and so much more. The costume universe of GoT is laid out in detail. Each colour decision, each subtle reference (one character to another) is documented in fascinating depth. Even if you couldn’t care less about the costumes themselves, the stories about the way that each character’s traits are literally woven into their kit is compelling. The illustrations and photographs are comprehensive, detailed and well-reproduced.If you’re looking for a down-side, there are a few characters who aren’t here. No Maisters, no Three-Eyed Raven, no Dead (except for the Night King and his lieutenants) and no Reeds, for example. Some of these are mentioned in the text but obviously it’s the main characters that the book concentrates on.I’d love for there to be a Volume 2.

I thought this might be the book out of the three that I least liked because it was all about the costumes but I loved this book! It is a huge heavy slab of an encyclopedia, and it covers the book characters and the individual looks created for them. I had no idea that the costumes told such a story. After a colour scheme and selection of material were chosen for ie the people in the North, the designer then looked at each character. It was explained how for example Sansa began as the girl who wanted to be a princess and queen, dressing better than her sister then copying Cersei at King's Landing, wearing her hair in the southern style as she tried to be a lady. It then explains her changing costumes as her life goes through changes-the death of her family, learning from Littlefinger, marrying Ramsay, becoming Lady of Winterfell and Queen in the North. A story appears giving a reason for the dragonflies on her dress, every bead and piece of jewellery-every single stitch and clasp has a meaning and it was fascinating to read this for each character. I'll never look at the costumes the same way and I'm amazed at the amount of thought that went into each outfit.

One more for the hardcore fans I suppose but this is a beautifully illustrated and presented book, printed on very high quality paper and featuring stunning photographs. The sheer detail of the costumes will astound you, the stunning production values that made GoT (Season 8 notwithstanding!) the best thing on TV really come through here. It's a pretty expensive volume but worth the money.

This is fantastic! Detailed pictures of the costumes, original sketches from the costume designer and reasons behind the development of the costumes along with the characters.....well worth the money.

Hefty enough to kill a Lannister at thirty paces or brain a Dothraki at a truly exceptional wedding, the book is a beautiful encyclopaedia of unused art, detailed close ups and the stories behind it all. There are some fold out pages, which I wasn’t expecting. AND it details shoes (I love Missandei’s).Conclusion: whether you’re interested in the actual costumes or just want to pretend to be a well armed Maester at a melee, this is The Book ™️ to invest in.

This book is stunning, illustrations, detailed photographs and descriptions about the outfits. Worth every penny
