Costume Design: Girl B

The versions of outfits for girl B are significantly less varied than that for girl A simply because showing her as homeless is a lot easier that showing that Girl A is from a different world. Along with that as Girl B is living on the street whereas Girl A is shown as fairly rich, the amount of costumes that Girl B can wear is limited. The plaid shirt remains a constant throughout both designs though due to its affiliation with  grunge and due to its use by typically rough-tough types of characters both in film and television. An example would be Sam and Dean Winchester from CW's "Supernatural".

Costume 1
This version of the costume has both a sturdy water-proof coat (which girl B is of course likely to wear all the time, considering the weather here in London) and comfortable green cargo pants, which are a classic movie cue for someone usually either living outside or participating in combat. As with all the consequent outfits, layering a hoodie or a black beanie hat under the coat could further emphasise that being homeless is an especially difficult feat in winter. This is quite possibly the most likely costume we'll use due to its simplicity and hence its more authentic feel.











Costume 2
This version of the outfit has ripped blue jeans instead of the cargo pants, which would accentuate the fact that girl B's life on the streets has made its mark on her clothes, this is something we want to try and incorporate into which ever costume we pick however as it will give our opening a more realistic feel. However, the problem with this is that the rips, having been originally made as part of the clothing itself, may look too obviously superficial on film. 











Costume 3
This final version of girl B's outfit could be matched to the coat shown in the post detailing girl A's costume, as the black jeans pictured here would match the colouring of that coat well. To perhaps add bulk to the outfit, a sweater of a dark colour such as brown or black could be worn underneath. Furthermore, as with the rest of this list, the addition of something like fingerless gloves would further drive home this character's need for functionality and warmth in her clothing due to her position.
