“oops I did it again”
what’s this? another player costume design? this time it’s for nicki’s partner, benjamin! I had a lot of fun with this one, with a little help from benjamin themself.
I didn’t quite have a clear vision going into making this design. I started off leaning more towards something inspired by titania & rumour but ended with a design that leaned more towards crosse & cuthbert with athleisure elements. at one point I played around with adding a half skirt but couldn’t land on a version I liked. since the design was made to compliment lennox (the same as the shelly & dan one), one of the original ideas was a corset belt which later turned into just a crop top, somewhat keeping that same silhouette. with the shorts, the idea was for them to look like shorts and a skirt at the same time to match with benjamin’s request of “gender fuckery”
of course I had to give benjamin their own player name, so I landed on malcolm. malcolm is from the play macbeth, which is where the name lennox comes from as well. in the play, he is king duncan’s son and the rightful heir to the scottish throne. lennox is a nobleman who sides with malcolm against macbeth at the end of the play. their costume also has a real macbeth poster design on the back as a nod to this.
