Girls Season 2 Premiere Recap: Shoshanna’s Fascinator, Audrey’s Coachella Headbands, and Hannah’s ‘Stupid Sailor Nun’ Dress

When we first tackled the subject of the Girls and their wardrobes, we noted how realistically they dressed compared with other shows in the same vein. So, have they and costume designer Jenn Rogien kept up that believability in season two?

From Hannah’s weird little girl dresses and visible bras, to Shoshannah’s “deflowered but not devalued” party get-up (which of course included a KMid-esque fascinator), click through for the episode’s best fashion moments and our super scientific analysis.

Glad to have you back, Girls!

Girls Costume Designer Jenn Rogien Talks Undies

The last time we caught up with Jenn Rogien, costume designer behind hit HBO series Girls, she told us about her collaboration aspirations, which haven’t taken long to materialize in the form of a new gig with American Eagle-affiliated intimates brand aerie.

That the designer of a show like Girls, where much camera time is given to semi-nude/pantsless twentysomethings, ended up working with an intimates brand, didn’t come as much of a shock to us. Or to Rogien.

We chatted with the budding stylist-turned-mogul about the collab, underwear trends, awkward fittings and more.

Girls Costume Designer Jenn Rogien on That Wedding, Jessa’s Crazy Feather Outfit and What to Expect From Season Two

The latest Girls episode has been a weekly discussion topic here in the Fashionista offices ever since the season premiere (and maybe a little before that too). We’re kind of obsessed with Lena Dunham and Judd Apatow’s cleverly written, hilarious, and disturbingly relatable HBO series. And even if the cast’s racial diversity is–debatably–not 100% realistic, the clothes pretty much are. So much so that we wrote an entire article about it.

So, when we got the opportunity to interview the show’s costume designer Jenn Rogien, we were over the moon with excitement. Rogien was a pleasure to talk to and I could tell she genuinely loves her enviable job costuming one of television’s hottest, buzziest shows and working with its talented writers.
