OTTENBERG: It’s really fun to be talking to you about Euphoria.
#Euphoria costumes full#
To get the full story on the fashion this season, fellow stylist and Interview editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg got on the phone with Bivens to discuss mood boarding, skinny jeans, and dressing teenage characters in designers they could never afford. In the years since, she’s earned a reputation for dressing young characters who grow up fast on productions like Jonah Hill’s skatepark coming-of-age drama Mid90s and Harmonie Korine’s drug-fueled technicolor fever dream Spring Breakers- a cult classic filled with neon balaclava-and-bikini looks that make it the only recent work of cinema to rival Euphoria’s outrageous underage fits. After getting her star t in the ‘90s, first as a journalist and then as a stylist for magazines like Paper and W (she also recently styled Billie Eilish for Interview ), Bivens made her foray into costume design as an assistant on the set of The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -the film that inducted the manic pixie dream girl into the fashion lexicon.
Not only does Euphoria’s creator Sam Levinson have a taste for fantasy (which only escalates over the course of season 2), but Bivens herself has major history in the world of high fashion. From the anime-eqsue looks she creates for Jules to the BDSM-inspired accessories that Kat wears to class, Bivens’ costuming decisions are relentlessly racy, sparking a new genre of dressing for Gen Z-ers the world over.īut this should come as no surprise. In the age of social media outrage, it’s rare for a costume designer to take the kind of risks that Euphoria’s Heidi Bivens does.
