PS: As you crafted each of the central characters, what pieces become essential to their looks? What piece defines each of their unique styles?
DC: [For] Steve's hero costume piece, his stingy-brim fedoras because they connect him to the Brazzos silhouette of his past — which gives him a sense of continuity and stability, and also because they help shield him from the world.
[For] Marty, his scarves, because they add movement and theatricality. They're like the theatre curtains on the proscenium of his costumes.
[For] Selena, her black Lotuff Leather backpack. A NYC girl needs to have her hands free so she can grab a subway pole, hold her phone and eat a street taco at the same time, or defend herself against an attacker — or be the attacker — if necessary.
