Shang-Chi

“My main focus on Shang-Chi was to develop Shang’s fight jacket. I started by consulting with the designer (Kym Barrett) and reviewing the illustration for the jacket. Meeting with Simu Liu and taking a complete set of measurements was next, and his body was scanned, so body forms could be milled. By draping on the exact body forms, every curve and muscle is accounted for in the pattern of the garment, which enables better fit and freedom of movement. With every new iteration of the garment, and with more artisans involved (from graphic designer to printer, to mold makers and painters) the fight jacket evolved into the hero’s icon it was destined to become.” --SL
