Behind the Scenes[]
- The Dora Milaje armors drew inspiration from Filipino and Japanese elements in addition to its African roots. According to senior visual development illustrator Anthony Francisco, the shoes were meant to look like Japanese jika-tabi boots, the beadwork and tassles from Ifugao decor in the Philippines, the arm bands and neck rings from Ndebele women, and the rest of the costume from the Maasai. With around 80% of the costume from African sources, Francisco described the breakdown of other influences as "five percent Samurai, five percent ninja, and five percent Ifugao tribe."[2] Francisco also cited the Igorot people, the Dinka tribe, and the Maasai people as inspiration for the design, noting that the Dinka people specifically inspired the corset.[3]
