Start off with a red beanie to get the look of this whacky genius. Grab a light blue Uniform Shirt with some Team Zissou Costume Patches. As for the bottom, put on a pair of  Light Blue Pants, and Adidas Sneaker. Then accessorize yourself with a black Wristwatch, a Leg Holster, and a Rubber Training Gun.

About Steve Zissou From The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Steve Zissou is a character in the 2004 comedy adventure film directed by Wes Anderson, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. 

Steve Zissou is a whacky genius oceanographer. He is creating a documentary out at sea on his decrepit research vessel Belafonte. However, his partner, chief diver, and closest friend, Esteban du Plantier, is eaten alive by a ten-meter-long jaguar shark. And Zissou spends the rest of the film attempting to exact revenge on this shark and documenting it. 

The other members of his crew include his estranged wife Eleanor Zissou, who acts as his chief strategist and financial backer. His safety expert Pele dos Santos, is a Brazilian man who plays guitar and sings Portuguese versions of David Bowie songs. And his first mate Klaus Daimler views both Steve Zissou and Esteban as his father figures. Despite this, the "Team Zissou" crew had not made a successful documentary in nine years! 

Due to Steve Zissou's egotism and insatiable desire for revenge, lots of shenanigans ensue in this aquatic adventure comedy film.
