The 'Game of Thrones' capes are made from 'IKEA' carpets.
The 'HBO' fantasy series only has a low budget, which is why the costume designers came up with something very special for the warm outfits of the members of the night watch, whose leader was Jon Snow (Kit Harington) until recently. They took carpets from the well-known furniture company and cut, shaved and dyed the rugs so that they looked registered.
Costume designer Michele Clapton told the audience at an event at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles: "These coats were actually 'IKEA' carpets ... I wanted the audience to almost smell these costumes. They were waxed and matted so they Landscape fit. "
Despite the series' tremendous success, including three Emmys for Clapton and her creations, the budget for the costumes was "never enough". However, she and her team are able to find clever ways to equip themselves with what they need. "The budget is always the same, every year, regardless of what we film. It's OK, but it's never enough. Sometimes when you are limited, you get smarter about what you do. You look at things, you can Use things again, "says the artist.
