Black Parade Mask 

* Handmade Papier Mache Mask sourced from Mexico by Colleen Atwood and worn in the filming of My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” music video

Gerard Quote: “I got to keep some of the masks used in Sam Bayer’s music video for ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’, which was awesome. One of the things Sam was able to do was introduce me to Colleen Atwood, one of the most celebrated costume designers in Hollywood, after I expressed a great interest in working with her on the band’s Black Parade uniforms, which I had been making doodles of for a couple months. The first thing to know about Colleen is that she’s not only insanely talented, she is one of the kindest, sweetest human beings I have met in my life, and I am very grateful we became friends through working together. I also learned a ton from her, and after the shoot and the working experience, I desperately wanted to become an apprentice of hers– just to hang out and make stuff and keep learning. A little background on Colleen is that she has been working on films for many years. She has received several Academy Awards for costume design, and she is the woman responsible for dressing the characters in everything from Memoirs of A Geisha to Edward Scissorhands, creating his iconic look for the film, along with the rest of the cast and many others. Colleen had discovered a group of mask-makers in Mexico that she loved, of which she asked to make her hundreds of masks for the shoot. I remember her explaining all the reasons she was drawn to their work, what she thought was special about them in their simplicity. I thought they were great, and it was truly a sight to see the scores of extras wearing them during the shoot, making up the bulk of the ‘black parade’. Over the years I have given one or two of these away, and I brought the remaining masks to the video shoot, ‘A Summoning’ as props or set-dressing easter-eggs. The Summoning video was used to accompany the announcement for MCR’s 2020 Reunion Tour, which would have been a very different experience had it occurred. After this finds a new home, I believe I will have three left.” - G (x)

Chicago / Catherine Zeta-Jones as Velma Kelly and Renee Zellweger as Roxy Hart

Year: 2002

Designer: Colleen Atwood

Velma and Roxy wear these costumes for the finale. The white may playfully symboize their official innocence, while the lyrics suggest anything but.

There's a nice bit of acting in how they react to the glamorous fur-trimmed robes in which they make their entrance. Velma is more used to this lifestyle, happy to be back but basically taking it in stride. Roxy is practically swooning at the newfound luxury. See below for a close-up.

I can’t be the only one freaking out over what Gerard shared on this Black Parade item he is donating to be auctioned for the California School of Arts.

He wanted to be Colleen apprentice?!

The masks are somehow related to The Summoning video and what the Return Tour was originally going to be!?
