The deception required a fairly convincing physical transformation, without the aid of special effects or soaking in a vat of retinol

The show, about two 13-year-old girls surviving seventh grade, is a painfully, earnestly accurate — like, oh my God I could die watching it accurate — portrayal of everything middle school.
Photo: Alex Lombardi/Hulu A large part of why audiences might have to remind themselves Erskine and Konkle aren’t in their early teens is because of their bravely earnest performances, and of course their own personal relationship to every plotline. But the deception required a fairly convincing physical transformation, without the aid of special effects or soaking in a vat of retinol.
The next step was enlisting the help of costume designer Melissa Walker, who hit eBay to order every Delia’s catalogue and teen magazine from 1997–2001 she could find. Walker built mood boards, pulling in images from movies and TV shows like Scream, Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Welcome to the Dollhouse, and Popular, as well as the actresses’ own yearbooks. She listened to every MTV Party to Go compilation CD.
Fortunately for Walker, even though we’re the midst of a ’90s fashion revival nothing post-1996 is considered stylish . PEN15’s wardrobe choices never read as hip or modern onscreen — instead the fashion chafes the eye. “The late ’90s early 2000’s stuff hasn’t become popular or trendy again. It’s still gross in our eyes,” she said. Not all early-aughts trends were bad though.
