Costume Evolution of Pablo Escobar in Narcos

The show Narcos is a story about the uprising of the a Colombian cartel drug lord Pablo Escobar. What caught my eye in this show is the three different variety of costumes he wears as he goes through four stages in his life. In his first and fourth stage he was a humble person he did not care to show off his money, he wore clothes of an ordinary man. In his second stage money became his priority this is when Escobar began to buy expensive jewelry and clothes to show his power and wealth. In his third stage Pablo wore clothes of a businessman; in this stage he was trying to become the president of Columbia, so he had to represent himself in a professional way. All these costumes Escobar wore throughout the show were design by Bina Daigeler.
In his first stage Escobar was beginning his empire he did not have very much money so he had to limit his spending. In this

At this stage he wore a lot of jewerly; he had his rolex watches, golden necklaces and rings. Escobar live through the 80’s, during this time period they wore a button up colorful and stripe shirts with unbutton buttons exposing his chest. Since he was a rich drug lord he had to show others that he was rich, that's why during this time period he wore what rich americans wore during the 80’s in America. Since he trafficked to Miami he was influenced by what the men in Miami wore. By him dressing up as an American I believe he was trying to establish himself as a wealthy man because during that time period most of the people of Columbia were poor and Escobar dressing up with clothes that were imported from the U.S, showed that he had money. I also believe that escobar exposing his chest was a way of him saying that he had strength because he was exposing a muscular part of the body or it could have been because of the weather, Colombia has a tropical climate that is hot and
