Plus, costume designer Meghan Kasperlik drops a hint on a major costume Easter Egg you may have missed.
As expected, the fourth episode of HBO's "Watchmen" dropped more revelations and brought forth new burning questions. Since the premiere, creator and "Lost" alum Damon Lindelof's vision of the superhero and super-vigilante series, set 30 years after the graphic novel ended, has consistently kept viewers guessing — all while tackling a specifically American brand of right-wing extremism and racism.
So, along with the original "Watchmen" graphic novel "bible," current events, history and environmental references, the costume designer also looked to fashion throughout time for inspiration. Lady Trieu's futuristic spa-like aesthetic was especially influenced by avant garde Dutch couturier Iris van Herpen for the architectural mix of textures and nature elements, including her "opulent oyster and green" palette.
"Then I found these amazing Proenza Schouler shoes that had a very odd point and a different heel and it really pulled outfit together," adds Kasperlik, who custom-designed most of Lady Trieu's wardrobe. She did shop some pieces, though, like the silver-gray tie-dye-esque dress from Zara. While Lady Trieu doesn't practice outfit repeating, she does maintain one consistent sartorial theme: white leather gloves. "Lady Trieu never shows her hands," says Kasperlik.
For instance, Bian's traditional Vietnamese áo dài referential jacket features raw-edged patches of cracked eggshells with loads of tally marks etched into the interiors "The chick was counting her days until she was hatched," hints Kasperlik. Birth did play heavily in this episode, which began with literal broken eggs, so ...
"We gave the leg a little bit of a flare, so it had an interesting design line to it, versus being a straight pin-leg suiting," says Kasperlik. She bought Laurie's below-the-knee black trench from Sui Studio because the weighted jersey draped and flowed so "beautifully" on camera.
"We needed to make her look like a cool person, without it being overly done and forced down your throat," Kasperlik explains. She also made a point to stock Angela's closet with brands that the character would be drawn to and be able to afford. Good to know that Anthropologie, where Kasperlik found the coat, is thriving in an alternative e-commerce-less retail environment.
