Everyone seems to be slating the unusual fashion choice made in Girls this week, sure it isn't Marnie's usual attire and maybe they are slating it because it just isn't a choice she would usually make and she is changing herself for Booth. But am I the only person that thought it was actually kind of fucking awesome?
I quite like it, though it isn't very flattering, and I imagine it chafes too.
I am really into the whole transparent thing at the moment, admittedly usually on shoes but I think it totally works here with the gold, two-piece, snake-skin under-layer. I think it is quite fun. I mean yes it probably isn't practical or comfortable but there is something totally excellent about it.
I found some info on the dress where it isn't described as appalling and actually has quite an interesting background to it - http://www.buzzfeed.com/hillaryreinsberg/marnie-plastic-dress-girls
In the episode, Marnie, played by Allison Williams, is helping her celebrity artist "boyfriend" throw a party for his art world friends — and while Lena Dunham's character Hannah shows up in a dingy raincoat, Marnie opts for a see-through plastic item that is certainly the edgiest, most high-fashion thing we've seen yet on the show. (Excluding that yellow mesh tank top Hannah wore a few episodes ago.)
But sorry to inform: you cannot buy it.
"I made Marnie's plastic dress especially for the episode," the show's costume designer, Jenn Rogien, explains. "It's two layers of vinyl — a metallic gold croc textured vinyl bandeau high waisted mini skirt under a charcoal transparent vinyl fit and flare silhouette."
Dunham actually wrote the dress into the script, Rogien explains. "It was inspired by a moment from Lena's life in which she got in a fight with her friend who was wearing a plastic dress."
