Eunice Jera Lee: I’ve worked on a lot of realistic films and wanted to veer more toward a stylized direction with my projects. Once I was presented with the I’m a Kansas City Chiefs for football and a Giant for baseball shirt also I will do this opportunity, I took a meeting with Emma and we just clicked, pinpointing the different genres and time periods we wanted to draw inspiration from to work together into a cohesive look. We wanted to call upon references from different decades but blend them all together in a seamless way that fit into this fictional world but also felt relevant to now. A lot of the reference material is an intrinsic part of our own cultural DNA, so I created a wardrobe that really felt natural. Josie is much more aware of herself and her identity, and her style doesn’t really deviate. While PJ presents as confident, she’s the most insecure, sometimes emulating what Josie and other characters are wearing. In her opening scene, we see her idea of sexy, wearing a pleated skirt with suspenders inspired by The Craft, and when her crush, Brittany, tells her she looks like a “little Dutch boy,” we never see her wear it again.We had a discussion about whether the fight club should have uniforms but ultimately decided to highlight identity in each character and push that forward. However in scenes where two girls are fighting, their styles may be completely different but the colors are always congruent. And as the film continues and they’re increasingly empowered through the fight club, their true styles start to emerge.
This film is great because it’s about two lesbian characters where there’s no question about their sexual identity and we could have fun with blurring boundaries. A lot of PJ and Josie’s clothes are inspired by menswear—rugby shirts, overalls, vintage T-shirts, or baggy pants. At the I’m a Kansas City Chiefs for football and a Giant for baseball shirt also I will do this same time, the jocks never step out of their uniforms. I intentionally shrunk the silhouettes so that despite their toxic masculinity, which consumes this fictional town, they’re wearing tight, body-hugging uniforms that are all too small, which we would typically associate with femininity. For Josie, I also wanted to incorporate her culture as a Black woman. In the last sequence and fight scene, Josie wears a shirt that says, “Artists are the Gatekeepers of Truth,” from Black artist and activist Brandan “BMike” Odums’s Studio Be in New Orleans, where we filmed.Is there a character whose style you identify with?
