I was a huge fan of the original two Bioshock games when Irrational initially reached out to me to help design Young Liz, so this was a dream of a project to work on.
The art director was looking for a historically-inspired costume with some modern updates to the silhouette, as well as something that reflected Elizabeth's bright-eyed inexperience at the beginning of the game. While school uniforms weren't nearly as prevalent during the Edwardian era as they are today, we ended up zeroing in on a blouse-and-skirt ensemble that echoed that theme and communicated her youth to the audience.
