Unique Properties: Inspired by the musical adapted from Stendhal's The Red and the Black, this design uses French rock style to depict protagonist Julien’s emotions in the 19th century. Rock’s rebellious spirit, though seemingly incompatible with the literary work, accurately captures the characters’ core.
Combining 19th-century European court costumes with punk elements, it adopts the classic red-and-black punk color scheme, echoing the novel’s themes, and presenting cross-era spiritual conflict and integration.
