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.
