Carbon Costume the phoenician scheme
Zsa-zsa Korda from The Phoenician Scheme
Zsa-zsa Korda (played by Benicio del Toro) is the primary protagonist of Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme. Zsa-zsa is a wealthy European businessman whose life is in danger while he pursues a new business venture. Zsa-zsa is accompanied in his travels by his daughter Liesl, a nun who he has named his sole heir, and Bjorn Lund. Zsa-zsa is in a plane crash–one of six in his lifetime–which leaves him with several injuries. To create your costume, you’ll want to start by choosing one of his looks and then accessorizing as necessary. You could choose to create his desert-inspired outfit with khaki pants and jacket, and a white scarf used as a sling for his injured left arm, or his grey pinstripe suit with grey tie, white pocket square, and an abundance of bandages and gauze.
Sister Liesl from The Phoenician Scheme
Sister Liesl (played by Mia Threapleton) is one of the main characters in Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme. One of Zsa-zsa Korda‘s ten children, Liesl is chosen as his sole heir and travels with her father while he survives several attempts on his life. Liesl is a nun, and she wears a white uniform included a veil, long sleeved shirt, and a white dress. White tights are also part of her uniform, though Liesl can be seen wearing tights in shades of green as well. She wears black shoes, a silver cross necklace, and carries a rosary with green beads.
Cousin Hilda from The Phoenician Scheme
Cousin Hilda (portrayed by Scarlett Johansson) is a character in Wes Anderson’s film The Phoenecian Scheme. Hilda meets up with Zsa-zsa Korda, Sister Liesl, and Bjorn Lund while they are in the desert, at which point Zsa-zsa graciously offers her a hand grenade. Cousin Hilda wears her hair in a braided crown. If you don’t feel up to braiding your own hair, consider grabbing a braided hair band and pulling your hair back instead. Complete your desert-friendly costume with a red gingham shirt, high waisted khaki shorts, and strappy sandals.
Bjorn Lund from The Phoenician Scheme
Bjorn Lund (played by Michael Cera) is one of the main characters in Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme. Bjorn joins Zsa-zsa Korda and his daughter Liesl as they are forced to outwit assassins, terrorists, and greedy competitors looking to sabotage Zsa-zsa’s latest business venture. Bjorn has curly hair and wears round framed glasses. His clothing typically consists of a brown or tan colored corduroy suit, pale yellow dress shirt, and red toned waistcoat. Add a polka dot bow tie to complete the eccentric look.
