In Season 7, we expanded a little more, and with Piper being out in the world we see her family, meet new people we have a lot of clothes this season, which was really fun to tackle.'I love big boobs,' said Sheridan Love, a girl after our own hearts. In Season 7, we did so much wardrobe the show expands costume wise, whereas it was really contained during the prison riot (which all took place over three story days.) We didnвЂ™t see a lot of flashbacks that season because it was all about the drama inside the facility. I loved the Miss Rosa flashback, which was sort of a late '70s/early '80s heist-movie homage, and was really fun to do form a costume standpoint. (Laughs) We've done so many that I think it would be impossible. Subtle things like that really inform our decision-making process.Дo you have a favorite look from the show? There were early scripts that involved shoelaces and I had to remind writers that we no longer had those. It was something we thought about going into the first season there are things inmates and correctional officers really wear, so how do we translate that to our world? The inmates' boots were a real signifier of a lower-security environment, and when we moved to Max the boots were gone. The thing with uniforms - military, correctional, what have you - is that you can get them wrong because they are real things that exist in the world. We had chosen navy in glimpses of maximum security early on, so we had to stick with that in later seasons. There was so much thought put into the uniforms - in Season 1, we talked so much about what colors we wanted in the environment and why, what colors would be in maximum security, minimum security, et cetera. How much does real-life prison clothing influence Orange's sartorial choices? ItвЂ™s literally whatвЂ™s happening right now, and we had to translate that into clothing in a way that was respectful. Something we had to be careful about is that an inmate is convicted, whereas a detainee is in limbo waiting, so we had to be very careful with terminology - it was some of the hardest research IвЂ™ve ever done in my life. For detainees, thereвЂ™s a system of color coding in place depending on the infraction or reason the detainee is being processed, and we modified a version of that to distill it for our facility. How did those costumes differ from the standard prison uniform we've seen for six seasons?ДЇor the detention center, we designed a whole new set of uniforms - in our research we found that the detention center guards are not necessarily trained at all, and thereвЂ™s obviously an ICE presence, so we did research on what that looks like and modified it to the circumstances.

Much of this season takes place in a detention center. In flashbacks, weвЂ™re seeing a character we know quite well in street clothes for the first time, and the question becomes, how do we delicately transform them in a way that still rings true? One of the challenges of my job was to make sure the character still felt like the character - I was offering lots of choices to Jenji and to our writers and directors, and sometimes in the fitting we would share a gut instinct to make sure they looked right. She doesn't look as contemporary as when we saw her before priso, it felt a little bit sad intentionally it was a really fine line to walk in that we wanted her to look like the old Piper, but Piper has changed so much that it makes it awkward to go back.ДЇlashbacks play such an important role on the show, giving us visual cues for who the characters were before prison how do you address those cues in costuming? Piper's wearing the same brands as before without the same resources, and her clothing feels a little 'off' to reflect where she is.

There's bit of a visual difference from when weвЂ™ve seen her in her street clothes in flashbacks - we did a lot of Postmark, Nordstrom Rack, and eBay to find stuff that's a few years old. Where did you source Piper's new-old wardrobe? Piper is also living with her brother Cal and his wife Neri, and NeriвЂ™s an extraordinarily talented thrift shopper, so Piper's wearing a mix of her pre-prison clothes and thrifted finds to signal that sheвЂ™s out, but sheвЂ™s not doing great right off the bet. Jenn Rogien: In my start up convos w Jenji at beginning of the season, my first question was, вЂњWhere are her clothes coming from?вЂќ My theory was that we had seen Larry hand off bags of clothes at some point. GARAGE: Now that Piper is out of prison, how did you tackle the challenge of dressing her in real-world clothes?
