46 The Costume Designer Spring 2018 THE SKETCHBOOK Black Panther You would have to have been vacationing far from the Intergalactic Empire to not know Black Panther's dominance at the box office was accompanied with a col- lective swoon over Ruth Carter's Costume Design. Marrying African tradition with sci- ence fiction and technology, Carter rooted every adornment with a resonant meaning.
