From Lu’s headbands, pearls, and heels to Carla’s femme fatale glamour, Cristina Rodríguez is the genius behind the most memorable looks on Elit3.
is that the main characters wear uniforms during most of their time onscreen. Was that a challenge? C.R.: It was tricky thinking about the uniforms and how each of the characters would personalize or customize their uniforms and what accessories they would wear.
You have to be able to express a lot through small details. At the beginning, we thought of it as a problem, but in the end, it turned out really well.One of the characters who successfully customize their school outfits is Lu. She looks like Blair Waldorf with all of her headbands and pearl sets! What has it been like creating her look?, is probably the most in touch with the fashion world out of all of the cast. She loves fashion and she’s been in the entertainment industry since she was five, so she and I have worked a lot together on creating Lu’s visual identity. Lu as a character has been like my Barbie. I can put anything on her and it looks good, so it’s been great playing around with her.Lu’s style has been a standout from the beginning, but I’ve noticed that Carla and Nadia’s style has really evolved since the first episodes. Why is that? C.R.: We’ve had three seasons and the characters’ styles have to evolve, I would get bored otherwise and so would the audience. And I’ve always thought it’s really weird when things in life happen, like going through a breakup or getting fired, and itimpact the way you dress. With Carla, in the first season, we made her look very preppy and as the seasons have progressed we’ve been dressing her in a way that’s more voluptuous and grown-up. And with Nadia, I think Catholic society can still be quite prejudiced against other religions, so it was important to show more and more that you can wear a hijab and be a modest dresser but still be pretty and stylish.Obviously since the show’s set in Spain, the wardrobe choices pick up on Spanish trends that might not be well known to viewers in the States. What would you say are the biggest trends for Gen Z in Spain right now?used to be looked down upon but now, because of the influence of trap and Rosalía, we think ofas young women with an interest in fashion and music, who know who they are and who are at the cutting edge. I’d also say that fashion is becoming genderless among not only Gen Z in Spain, but also across the wider world. I’ve been pushing for unisex fashion since day one on the show and we experimented with that in the third season with a party where gender roles are swapped and the girls go more covered up while the boys wear clothing that is more revealing.
