Completely.
And naturally now we have a price range now we have to respect, which the Birkin Bag didn’t actually match into, if you recognize what I imply. And my assistant costume designer, Jen, was involved with Fashionphile. They resell luxurious heritage baggage. They usually had been very excited to work with us and lent us the Birkin.
Wow, that’s wonderful.
Additionally, if I would add, in a notice of self-referential inspiration, there’s a small Blair Waldorf Easter egg dwelling in Allyssa. Allyssa, in my thoughts, would’ve been a fan of Gossip Lady. She’s of the age. So she would’ve watched Gossip Lady and she or he would’ve been a Blair.
Oh my God. She’s sporting a headscarf in that first scene, is not she?
Yep, there you go. See?
Oh my goodness.
It is refined, however then when you hear it, you are like, “Oh.” It was simply sufficient of a nod.
I bear in mind within the opening scene Lily carries a Valentino bag, and my first thought was, “Does she come from cash?”
The primary time we see her she arrives at her mother’s and the Valentino tote turned her hero bag. And she or he carries a Fendi bag and she or he’s sporting Louboutins.
I bear in mind pondering at that second, “How can she afford that as a florist?”
I believe she comes from sufficient cash to know what that each one means, however I additionally assume we leaned into the concept that she’s a boss and might care for herself and might go purchase herself a Valentino bag if she needs to.
I used to be identical to, “Ought to I’m going grow to be a florist after which I can afford designer baggage?” However that is sensible too. I assume she’s been at this for some time.
Precisely. I believe it was enjoyable to usher in these components and have the high-fashion luxurious items additionally. And it feels appropriate. Why would not she have a Valentino? I believe some lux vogue equipment that type of present that she’s a boss and might afford a Valentino tote if she needs it.
My final query was about younger Lily. How did you concentrate on dressing her in relation to her older counterpart?
It truly labored out nice, as a result of younger Lily was forged somewhat bit later within the scheme of issues. We actually had Blake’s seems to be solidified, so they might pull again from that and be like, “Who would she have been when she was a child? And the way can we tie them collectively seamlessly?” Clearly the palette helps rather a lot. The truth that she’s late ’90s, possibly somewhat early 2000s, and we will lean into this crunchy grunge and [the fact that she’s a] gardener, she is aware, she’s form, she has an earthiness to her, she loves Atlas, and is so useful with Atlas. And there is a little little bit of that Carhartt, once more, that Noughties really feel, however not fairly as elevated or Riot Grrrl as we did with Blake. So it was a direct symbiotic visible, however the grown-up model.
