| When Joan Bergin, Costume Designer was asked : "How did you go about designing the look of Henry’s costumes season 2?" She said : "We’ve been thinking about Henry as someone whose feeling for fashion influenced a whole generation - like Bowie or Madonna. He was 6′3″ when most men were almost a foot shorter. Henry had enormous charisma and was physically striking. I’m trying to communicate all that. I’ve also imagined that in the back of his mind, Henry wants to go to war. There are little military touches which harden his overall look: small elements of worked leather, heavy moleskin, garments which are reminiscent of chain mail. No matter how well the characters around him look, when the King walks in, I want everyone to go ‘Wow!’" "What we’ve produced this year is quite beautiful: a lot of Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ clothes for Henry are just museum pieces in their detail and execution. " "There’s an incredible level of detail in all the clothes: the stitching, the lining, the buttons, the button holes and the fabric all belong to wearable clothes made with extraordinary precision. Some of these pieces have already been requested by museums." |

  Episode 1:3 | Comments: I don't like those balloon shorts! The mens fashions back then were kind of feminine...FMFJRMGRL |
  Episode 1:3 | Comments: fem necklace & curtains - FMFJRMGRL It's not a "fem necklace" at all, it's a collar. If you look at paintings of these no women wore them, it's very masculine. As for "curtains" the textile patterns of the period where what we associate today with uphostry, go to any SCA faire and you will see what I mean, lots of people wearing matterial that belongs on my great aunt's love seat! Although most of the patterns used in the series aren't accurate for the 16th century. Think millefleur patterns instead. - Boudica |
 | Comments: way fem in this pattern Actually, no, it's quite bold. -Arabella_Brandon This is one of my fav. Henry costumes. The collar is so detailed (something the real Henry would have probably liked, especially since it is pearls). -AnneBoleyn87 |
  | Comments: curtains! I like this one, honestly it doesn't matter what he's wearing to me he always looks fabulous! -Arabella_Brandon |

   Promotional shoot for season 1 | Comments: not bad..I like when he is in all black leather!FMFJRMGRL I quite like this one, it's VERY bad boy! Mm-hm! Not bad! One of my favorite Henry outfits mainly because the leather is too perfect...my friends and I always say that guys look better[and sexier] in leather and I say this is another example of that!-QueenEmy191989 |
  the field of cloth of gold -episode1.3 | Comments: I think the fabric is supposed to mimic cloth of gold, but it doesn't look like it's 100%, if any of it actually is, it's still a nice costume though. - Boudica I like the way the red undershirt stands out first then it draws you to the gold/yellow jacket.-Neta07 |
