My style dictates how I want to feel throughout the day. So if I want to feel cool, and it’s swag, I’ll do the big pants, maybe a shirt, definitely a cool sneaker, jewelry galore. Probably big hair. And if I feel a little more elevated, I’ll do a leather boot, and a pair of trousers, maybe a black trenchcoat.

Ms. Peak is starring in the HBO Max Gossip Girl Reboot.
I don’t know much about the original (2007-2012) or the reboot Gossip Girl except that the show focusses on a group of wealthy NYC kids who dress head to toe designer (better than ANY real high school kid) and they are remarkably nasty to one another – I wonder how real that part is? I watched some excerpts of the original and some of the reboot on YouTube and I’d say the costumes and the characters are even edgier in the reboot.
Entertaining? Perhaps. Healthy role modeling for youth? Perhaps not.
That’s my two cents for what it’s worth. xoxo
Fashion is what hangs on a rack. But what’s in your closet, that’s your style. 
The costume designer dresses somebody from the inside out. We care about what kind of underwear they’re wearing. It’s really important when you’re dressing somebody for a film to kind of think about what they’re wearing after they take their shower; what’s the process; what goes on underneath; what makes sense. And it’s a real internal process. The process of fashion is completely external. It’s disposable. It’s changeable. 
Sarah Jessica Parker is obviously one of the most stylish people alive. But starting the show was tricky. We tried to ignore her other show entirely and create a new character with a new life. It was exciting for her to reinvent herself into a new person. 
I really like what Bhasin has done with Frances. He’s managed to costume a character with interest while NOT making it all about the clothes. I also appreciate that he reuses pieces, like the two coats Frances wears. Since the costumes are so interesting it’s great to see them more than once.
