The Creator - Maya

Back in 2019 we were approached by Gareth Edwards and his Producer Jim Spencer to discuss Gareth’s new project, The Creator. An original sci-fi property doesn’t come around often, and we jumped at the opportunity to provide early blue sky visuals, and eventually design and manufacture of specialty props and costumes.
From the outset, Gareth explained the character Maya (played by Gemma Chan) as a contradiction. Her costumes needed to evoke a range of visual ideas; from a dreamlike moment in a Terrence Malick movie, to a war correspondent and field medic. Above all, it needed to feel practical and utilitarian while still retaining a feminine quality.
For the Maya replica suit, we aimed to design something that looks like It could be an artificial skin with various machine-readable registration markings and codes, all wrapped in protective plastic akin to a factory-sealed product.
