.fawnianewyork caught up with DerryGirls' creator and costume designer on the ‘90s-fashion Easter eggs you can expect in the finale season, and more.
, well, it's a f*cking state of mind.” Wise words — and a requisite F-bomb — from the troublemaking but loyal and foul-mouthed to a fault Michelle in the Season 2 finale of the ‘90s-set teen comedy. In a rare display of emotion to her relentlessly mocked English transplant cousin, James , she convinces him to stay in Northern Ireland with the rest of their found family: the tightly-wound, fast-talking Clare , as well as polar opposite cousins, Erin and Orla .
“If you can make people nostalgic, it's as good as making them laugh. They're on your side. They're like, ‘Oh! I remember that, and that, and so you want to just take people back with you,” Prior also recycled some meaningful ‘90s fashion for the show’s final run. “By Season 3, you feel at home with them all,” says Prior. “The costumes are so important to make that feel real, and feel at home, so I incorporated pieces over all three seasons into the last season, just for that.” Keep an eye out for Clare’s teddy bear earmuffs from that school field trip when the Catholic girls try and mostly fail to connect with the Protestant boys.
Orla, Derry’s resident aerobiciser, literally marches to the beat of her own drum in “trackies,” and exhibits her unflappable quirkiness through “dressing for the occasion,” per Prior. Now officially a Derry Girl, James rolls out a collection of Derry City sports merch to finish out the show.Speaking of Ginger, Scary et al, in the finale season, the girls make their stage debut in the Our Lady Immaculate’s Children In Need talent show, hosted by devout Father Peter .
