The Daily Beast chatted with Amy Parris about her work on Yellowjackets this season, to find out how she leant into a more authentic ’90s look and how she collaborated with the actors to bring each character to life.
this season, to find out how she leant into a more authentic ’90s look, how she collaborated with the actors to bring each character to life, and what costume-centric Easter eggs we should be looking out for as the season continues.
I could only really incorporate a little bit more in outerwear, because this season they’re out there in the winter. They crash in the spring or summer—you can imagine they wouldn’t have had a ton of warm clothes with them. So, instead of imagining what their winter coats were, it was a question of, "How many light layers can we get away with?"Once I knew I had the job, I immediately asked my parents if they still had my old box of ’90s magazines I had saved.
It really feels like, despite all the haphazard layering, they’ve all styled their layers on purpose—like they are still teenagers who are aware of what they’re wearing. We’ve seen in Season 1 that she is strong—she’s the hunter with Travis. She can aim a gun. She can kill a deer. They’re sent out to hunt this season. So, what we did was we took a fake deer hide and used that as a layer that she can wear over her leather jacket for not only protection, but also warmth. And that’s held on with a series of belts that were ripped out of the airplane. And the headband helps keep her hair down so it covers her ears.
What’s interesting with the older versions of these characters is you get to think about what’s happened to them in between. What you don’t know as a viewer and what I also don’t know as a designer is what has happened between them being in the wilderness and being rescued. The space between is empty for us. What have they been through? That has been fun to speculate about with the actors.
We made a lot of stuff, which was fun to get to do. I would say about 50 percent of her closet is built from scratch. It was always fun to surprise Simone with new things in the fittings. She was one of the fun ones to get to dress.
