The process that started with The Thief of Bagdad, shot by Douglas Fairbank in 1924, and Die Nibelungen, the same age production of Fritz Lang, has been reflected in the costumes by focusing on different subjects until today. Since the costumes in the films produced in the fantasy genre are as effective as the movie, they have also affected the sectors that are thought to be closely related. Fashion, music, textile, clothing, space design, etc. Apart from these, it is clear that shoes, bags, hair, accessories have the potential to establish, influence and reform a new lifestyle.
