The Call of Water
Costume Design
Film Written and Directed by Kaya Tone

Picture
Concept 
Set in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the story follows Nadia, a young woman craving her independence, the night before her childhood home is sold. High on mushrooms, Nadia and her friends inadvertently open a portal, plunging Nadia into the dream-plane. Nadia is led even deeper by the ancient figure, The Horned One, keeper of the land and of the water, as she runs away from her duty. In order to return to her body, Nadia must come to terms with her responsibility to her homeland and the water that it protects.

Tone was the Production Designer and Costume Designer for The Call of Water. Her concept for the costume design came from the themes in the film based on the power of nature and nature magical itself. The characters were influenced by Celtic Gods or mythological nature spirts. Tone hoped to build a concept of magic through the beauty and intensity of the natural world, and bought that into her characters. 
The Horned One
​

The Horned One is based off of the Celtic God, Cernunnos - the God of Nature. He is often associated with both fertility and death. Although typically associated with a stag deer, Tone chose give The Horned One a skull of a bobcat and the association with it. The bobcat is a significant creature in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, representing patience and wisdom.

The Horned One was the largest costume project for the production. Tone constructed the mask, horns, hood, and various accessories. The furs and jewelry were lended to the set by local mountain men.

Trish's Goddess Costume
​

Trish's costume in the astral plan is based off of interpretations of the Mother Goddess or the Earth Goddess. Her costume was designed to blend into the scenery, while portraying a scene of elegance. 

This was the second largest costume build project of the production. The cap was patterned and sown by Tone. The moss covered jacket was also intricately constructed.

Nadia

Nadia's costume was designed to look well worn. Nadia is a down to earth character who cares little for being put together. Instead she values functionality. Nadia was dressed in earth tones to hit at her connection to the earth itself.
