Caprica was
Syfy's prequel to the successful reboot of
Battlestar Galactica which sadly only lasted one season from 2009 to 2010. The show was set fifty years before the events of space-based parent series on one of the destroyed twelve
Colonies and chronicled the histories of two families, the
'Graystones' and the
'Adamas', and the birth of the robotic
Cylons that went on to slaughter their civilization decades later.
Original costume worn by Madga Apanowicz as Lacy Rand in Caprica
The series was a tad bleak and slow to start, but had intriguing science fiction concepts like virtual cyber worlds, plus explored different religions and power politics. This cool emerald green and gold robe costume (missing the headpiece) was worn by
Madga Apanowicz as
'Lacy Rand', who with the help of the first generation
Cylons usurped the position of the holy
'Mother' of the monotheist church by season's end.
Glenne Campbell was
Series Costume Designer on
Caprica and this outfit was photographed on display at
Universal Studios Hollywood on January 23, 2014. I especially like the detail on the sleeve cuffs.
As well as this spin-off series,
Glenne Campbell was also responsible for
Costume Design on the Battlestar Galactica TV reboot, so be sure to check out the cool costumes from that hit series here at
Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props too.
Plus if you're a fan of the show, be sure to also take a look at these
original props from Caprica.
