[LOOK] The new ‘Encantadia’: Concept art, costumes unveiled

MANILA, Philippines – After the cast of the 2016 Encantadia reboot was announced Monday, April 4, Noel Layon Flores, the head set designer of the show, unveiled concept art from the upcoming series – including some of the costumes that the 4 sang’gres will wear in battle.

Here’s a look at the intricate clothes that the denizens of Sapiro, Adamya, Hathoria, and Lireo will wear. These details will help build the incredible world of Encantadia. 

As the Enchanta saying goes: Asnamon voyanazar!

Pirena (Glaiza de Castro)

About Pirena’s outfit, Noel wrote: “This is one of 7 iterations of the character’s look. It follows the silhouette of the old design but carries the new texture that is identifiable to the new Lireo culture.”

He also said that her weapons have names: “The long sword is called ‘Baga’. The short sword is called ‘Siklab.’ There is more to these swords than you might think.” 

“This is one of 7 iterations of the character’s look. It follows the silhouette of the old design but carries the new texture that is identifiable to the new Lireo culture. By the way, #Pirena’s weapons have names. The long sword is called “BAGA”. The Short sword is called “SIKLAB”. There is more to these swords than you might think.” – Noel Flores (Photo from facebook.com/noel.layon.flores)

Amihan (Kylie Padilla)

Noel described Amihan’s look: “This is a nod to Amihan‘s 2005 look. One of 8 iterations of the diwata. Yeah. You read it right. Amihan and the other sisters will have different armor designs as the TV series [progresses].”

Marian Rivera will take on the role of Ynang Reyna, Mine-a, the mother of the 4 gem keepers. Meanwhile, Dingdong Dantes, who played Ybarro/Ybrahim in the original series, will play Raquim, the prince of Sapiro and Amihan’s father.

Encatandia was a popular “fantaserye” which first aired in 2005, and spawned two sequel series, Etheria: Ang Ikalimang Kaharian ng Encantadia and Encantadia: Pag-Ibig Hanggang Wakas. The cast included Sunshine Dizon, Iza Calzado, Karylle, and Diana Zubiri who played the 4 gem keepers.

A second saga of the show was scheduled some time in 2010, but did not push through. – Rappler.com
