" Cosmo: The trailer for Girls has us so excited! Tell us everything. What kind of looks can we expect from Season 2? Jenn: I can&amp;#039;t give anything away! What I can say is that the wardrobe is still trying to keep up with the girls and mirror or support them in their adventures. We take all of our cues from the storylines. As the girls go through their hijinks and emotional roller coasters, we get the wardrobe to follow along and support that. Hannah&amp;#039;s wearing an orange sleeping bag with armholes in the trailer, and that was something that was specifically in the script. Of course, we were all set to make it when one of my team members found it online! [Ed. Note: Poler makes it, and it&amp;#039;s called The Napsack.] It&amp;#039;s like hipster loungewear. I was totally surprised that it existed because we thought we were going to have to buy a sleeping bag at retail and modify it, or make it from scratch. It turned out that we could get a hold of it very quickly. There was a lot of excitement when we found it. Cosmo: Shoshanna lost her V-card at the end of last season \u2014 will that be affecting her style choices going forward?  JR: In our early creative meetings we talked about that with Lena [Dunham] and Jenni [Konner], that maybe that does grow her up a little bit. She&amp;#039;s such a fun character to dress; it&amp;#039;s a nice moment of escapism for me. Cosmo: How different are the actors&amp;#039; real-life styles from what they wear on the show?  JR: I&amp;#039;m not sure, actually. We try to create a look for each character that&amp;#039;s so specific to that girl that I suspect I only see them in costume. I also try to keep a separation so the girls can be themselves when they&amp;#039;re not in wardrobe. Cosmo: How did you land on Hannah&amp;#039;s look? It&amp;#039;s like she&amp;#039;s trying not to try.  JR: In our first fitting, we played around with a lot of silhouettes. For some things, she looked too great, and it was like, I&amp;#039;m not going to believe that this girl is the same girl who&amp;#039;s bumbling through these situations. We&amp;#039;re really intentional about taking it to a place that looks relatable and real and accessible without going over the edge into completely messy and unappealing. We really walk a fine line. We tailor a lot of Hannah&amp;#039;s pieces to get just the right amount of awkward. We play with proportions and hemlines. We spend a lot of time in the fitting room really working those out so that it&amp;#039;s relatable. Cosmo: What&amp;#039;s the thing you have running through your head for each character?  JR: We did inspiration boards for each of the characters. For Hannah, that late 60s, early 70s color palette, along with things that are lovingly disheveled. For Marnie, we look for things that are classically tailored and put together. For Shoshanna we go for feminine, flirty, and pretty colors. For Jessa, we go for eclectic \u2014 we&amp;#039;ve come up with the phrase &amp;quot;odd and elegant.&amp;quot; Many of the pieces we end up finding for Jessa are both of those things. Cosmo: What about the guys?  JR: The guys are different. Charlie is hipster preppy with his plaid shirts and great t-shirts and slim, slim jeans. Ray, we lovingly describe as a bit of a curmudgeon. He&amp;#039;s wearing t-shirts that are ironic only because they are literally from another person&amp;#039;s closet from a thrift store. Adam is all about a great pair of jeans that fit really well. Pared down and worn in. In Adam&amp;#039;s world, clothing isn&amp;#039;t a huge priority, but he&amp;#039;s also thought about it. He&amp;#039;s made decisive choices about what he&amp;#039;s wearing. Cosmo: What kind of budget do you have?  JR: In terms of budget, we really let the reality of the girls&amp;#039; situations guide our shopping. With Hannah, when she&amp;#039;s really not making that much money, we follow through, so there&amp;#039;s a lot of vintage and thrift. With Marnie, she&amp;#039;s got more money, so we let that guide our shopping when we&amp;#039;re out looking for things for her. Cosmo: How did you come up with all the looks in the wedding episode?  JR: That was one of my favorite episodes of the season. From a design point of view, it&amp;#039;s an interesting challenge to take characters that have had such specific trajectories and then put them in a scenario we haven&amp;#039;t seen before. We didn&amp;#039;t see much wardrobe for Adam throughout the season, and then to take him and make him look dressed up in a way that still looks like Adam, that was a challenge. It was the same with Charlie: all the proportions are the same, slim-fit suit, but all of a sudden he&amp;#039;s dressed up. You want to get all of the character and at the same time, you want it to continue on into that specific wardrobe in that moment. How do we find a dress that conveys that Hannah made an effort but is still Hannah and has the same fit idiosyncrasies? They don&amp;#039;t just look right \u2014 it&amp;#039;s also a really nice continuation of their characters. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
