And in fact now we have a finances now we have to respect, which the Birkin Bag did not actually match into, if you recognize what I imply. And my assistant costume designer, Jen, was in touch with Fashionphile. They resell luxurious heritage baggage. And they had been very excited to work with us and lent us the Birkin.
Wow, that is wonderful.
Also, if I would add, in a observe 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 Girl. She’s of the age. So she would’ve watched Gossip Girl and she or he would’ve been a Blair.
Oh my God. She’s carrying a scarf in that first scene, is not she?
Yep, there you go. See?
Oh my goodness.
It’s delicate, 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 first time we see her she arrives at her mother’s and the Valentino tote turned her hero bag. And she carries a Fendi bag and she or he’s carrying Louboutins.
I bear in mind considering at that second, “How can she afford that as a florist?”
I believe she comes from sufficient cash to grasp what that every one means, however I additionally assume we leaned into the concept she’s a boss and may maintain herself and may go purchase herself a Valentino bag if she needs to.
I used to be similar to, “Should I’m going develop into a florist after which I can afford designer baggage?” But that is sensible too. I suppose she’s been at this for some time.
Exactly. I believe it was enjoyable to herald these parts and have the high-fashion luxurious items additionally. And it feels right. Why would not she have a Valentino? I believe some lux trend equipment that form of present that she’s a boss and may afford a Valentino tote if she needs it.
My final query was about younger Lily. How did you consider dressing her in relation to her older counterpart?
It really labored out nice, as a result of younger Lily was forged a bit bit later within the scheme of issues. We actually had Blake’s seems solidified, so they might pull again from that and be like, “Who would she have been when she was a child? And how can we tie them collectively seamlessly?” Obviously the palette helps lots. The incontrovertible fact that she’s late ’90s, possibly a bit early 2000s, and we will lean into this crunchy grunge and [the fact that she’s a] gardener, she is conscious, she’s sort, she has an earthiness to her, she loves Atlas, and is so useful with Atlas. And there’s a bit 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.
