Costuming


AMIGXs


The bestie duo not only are coordinated, but visually reflect their current state of joy. Matching friendship bracelets that they wear only when they are on good terms with one another. Lili's graphic tees in the series are cheeky visual tells of foreshadowing. Francisca is dressed to empower herself; Vinnie is thrown out of his place of security and into emotional disarray. Vinnie holds the dogtag of Francisca's name. Francisca has a Vinnie dogtag, but cannonically never wears it. As Vinnie comes to a more healthy understanding and expression of his emotions, our hero(ine) embraces pink. It was a deliberate choice to make him the only character to wear the color. Lili has now become Vinnie's "mini-me" as their friendship has deepened. "Say Anything" homage, but make it Franny-style. Not in shot: Vinnie's real vintage Pachuco pants. Script said "she has a killer look." Francisca delivers (to win).

Gen Z, Female-Led, Latinx Romantic Comedy. Zero-budget web series that follows three main friends who’ve known each other since they were kids, Francisca, Lili, and Vinnie, in the aftermath of Francisca and Vinnie’s explosive breakup.
LILI: Admist a quarter-life crisis, Lili embodies “Adam Sandler”-core. Progresses from starting out sloppy to more composed; as she bonds with Vinnie, in search of identity, she mirrors his style; plays with gender fluidity in fashion.

FRANCISCA: Well put together, but there is a sense of safety in her looks; matching sets, an orderly coordination in color combination. Think Gen Z teen meets politician’s wife; she dresses for what she wants.

VINNIE: Vintage-artsy-indie-soft-boy. He curates his looks to embody his passions across all forms of media. References to Chicano history, culture and fashion.
When happily together, Francisca and Vinnie's outfits coordinate to visually communicate their unity. Lili's chanclas. Francisca and Vinnie's matching dogtags. VINNIE inspo board FRANCISCA inspo board LILI inspo board
