How do you design costumes for one of history's most iconic figures?
Award-winning costume designer Pia Benegal shares the responsibility of creating costumes for The Making of the Mahatma and explains why this wasn't about recreating the Gandhi everyone already knew.
Instead, she focused on Gandhi's years in South Africa, carefully researching the period, the people, and their clothing to visually tell the story of his transformation—from a young lawyer to the leader whose philosophy would change the world.
For Pia Benegal, costume design wasn't just about clothing—it became a powerful storytelling tool.
