Like, nobody walks around the city in heels!
Shes always showing her bare legs, no matter what the temperature is.
As the series unfolds, there is a heightened feel to everything that Katy wears.

Shes obsessed with sequins and hearts, and she rarely strays from pink and red.
Her wardrobe is so much of who she is since shes an aspiring designer.
She loves fashion from every cell in her body.

Its very opposite from me.
How does Katies style differ from yours?Im just a little more subdued and a lot more casual.
I definitely love fashion and I appreciate it.

You really see the struggle, not just for Katy, but for all the characters.
You get to see the ups and downs of what it takes to make it.
The whole moral ofKaty Keeneis to go after your dreams.

Doesnt matter how big they are, because they will come true and they can come true.
She does a little bit of everything.
It wont be easy, but it will be worth it.

Thats kind of how I still feel about my life.
I still dont feel like Im at my destination.
Its always a journey.
You just have to appreciate every moment.
But we still want them to feel like real people.
So that mix of high, low helps to achieve that.
We use that across the board with all of our characters.
If Katie talks about making it, we made it for the show.
For the off-the-rack staff, we literally go everywhere.
We are there from vintage to department stores, to high street fashion.
Its a treasure hunt for us.
I wanted to talk about Jorge/Gingers style.
Especially his red kimono with dripping mint feathers.
When Jorges getting ready to perform as Ginger, or when hes coming out of makeup as Ginger.
Those are the moments where you see that kimono.
It feels like it comes from another era, that he found it in a vintage bin.
Its a really special piece thats a visual signifier of transition for him.
When everyone is wearing different clothes, that is a constant.
In the show, [Katy] uses this old sewing machine.
So, they taught me how to know my way around that.
And I can do some stitching.
We always have an adviser on set when Im doing anything technical to verify that it looks right.
My grandmother was a big sewer.
You know who actually [sews]?
Weve talked a bit about it.
Jenn, Ashleighs character Josie has such a rockstar look.
Josies a little bit older in a new situation.
Its a really exciting transition, and Itll be really fun for Josie fans to see.
And last but certainly not least, Pepper:the most connected person in New York.
Shes such a fascinating character, and her clothes are as creative and intriguing as she is.
And it works, because shes like, Oh yeah, oh yeah, well make this work.
Its going to be great!
We wanted something to feel very grounded by repeating her jewelry.
I like to play it safe, stay in my bubble.
People probably dont know that about me.
Youve played some iconic roles in the TV teen shows.
On and off TV, theres some crazy stuff going on in the world.
Katie is a breath of fresh air in a world of darkness, a little beam of light.
