Marxism: The method that interprets artworks in the light of their economic and social contexts. the goal of Marxism is threefold. First, Marxism desires to abolish classes in whatever form they exist. Marx and his followers have seen the injustices perpetuated through a class system. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
The costumes ranged from being light and flowy, to vibrant and bold. Since this 1980 move/musical, the fantasy used very soft yet bold imagery that could be seen through the costumes.
hope this helped!
