5/17/2023 0 Comments Euphoria cheer costumeShimmer aside, Euphoria is sure to make its mark in fashion due to Bivens’ skill at conceiving a wardrobe that authentically reflects the way urban teens dress today. With cinematographer Marcell Rév conjuring drama by deeply bathing scenes in red and blue light (evoking the moody look of Aaron Katz’s 2017 mystery thriller Gemini), the gleam of the cosmetics and costumes helps with visibility. “Sam’s not really interested in straight reality,” says Bivens, referring to the director’s viewpoint, not to mention his enthusiasm for shimmer. Critics have trounced Levinson’s depiction of teenage proclivities as over the top. Levinson’s fictional adaptation of a same-titled 2012 Israeli TV series portrays a diverse working- and middle-class suburban California teenage clique as they wildly experiment with sex and drug consumption. The sparkle might seem incongruous to the Euphoria setting. To lift the street-style wardrobe, Euphoria creator/director/writer Sam Levinson encouraged Bivens to adorn some of the wardrobe’s mostly quotidian togs (think merch sourced on Ebay, Etsy and Instagram, along with the odd designer finds) with Swarovski crystals, while the series’ makeup head, Doniella Davy, laid on the glitter. The drama’s much-ballyhooed all-star cast includes Zendaya as Rue, Hunter Schafer as her transgender friend Jules, promiscuous Maddie (Alexa Demie), experimental Kat (Barbie Ferreira) and good-girl Lexi (Maude Apatow).
