"Sirens" creator explains Lilly Pulitzer costume significance
The creator of Netflix's "Sirens" revealed the significance of the show's vibrant Lilly Pulitzer-inspired wardrobe, calling the outfits "ridiculous." The clothing choices are a key element of the show's aesthetic. Show creator Molly Smith Metzler explained that the colorful wardrobe, particularly the custom-made Lilly Pulitzer-esque pieces, was inspired by her time in coastal New England towns like Nantucket. The outfits are meant to reflect the status and culture of the characters. Metzler also discussed the lockets worn by the characters, which are a status symbol in Nantucket. The five-episode series, which premiered on May 22, follows a woman trying to convince her sister to leave a luxurious beach town.
