You had the big assignment of re-creating the iconic red bathing clothing — how did you access it?
I absolutely capital to change it. I acquainted it was important to put my mark on it as a account about what's accident now in swimwear. So aback I met with the administrator and talked about it, we came up with the abstraction of alteration the blush and abacus zippers. I looked at all the trends in swimwear and I absolutely admired the abstraction of zippers, neoprene and able-bodied things. So that was my inspiration, as able-bodied as aloof authoritative it a adulation letter to the beach.
We adapted the blush as able-bodied — fabricated it added of a ruby. We did a lot of tests on the fabric. You can alone brainstorm what my appointment looked like with little swatches of red blind everywhere (laughs). We took a little bit of the orange out and added blue, so the red is absolutely saturated. There's a little burnish as well. The bathing apparel were fabricated from a aggregate of a few altered amplitude fabrics that we absolute our new Baywatch red and blue. It was all aggressive by neoprene, but ours were not absolutely that thick.

Instead of accepting the ladies all abrasion the aforementioned jumpsuit bathing suit, they anniversary wore a altered silhouette.
Part of it was allowance acquaint the adventure of who these girls were, who these characters are. I admired the abstraction of not aloof accepting one bathing clothing anymore. Let's say you go assignment at a abode — you get to aces three altered things or aces from a selection, which one are you activity to pick? Because what we abrasion acutely tells a adventure of who we are.
Stephanie [played by Hadera] is added buttoned up and added professional; she wears the continued sleeve one ambiguous up appealing high. Then there's CJ [played by Rohrbach], who's adult and fun in a altered way. CJ has a bikini. Aback she wears a one-piece, it's ambiguous bottomward a little lower. And Summer [played by Daddario] has the vest, which is actual sporty, because her personality is added sporty. Those altered silhouettes helped to acquaint the story.
How did you adjudge on this accurate red?
We aloof started cerebration about how to improve it and what it was activity to attending like, what trends are in colors. I additionally anticipation about the blush in the ambiance — on the beach, abutting to the water, abutting to the sand, on the bistered and bashed skin. I anticipation of that deep, abysmal bittersweet red and a gold zipper, but it's a matte gold. To me, that aggregate was amazing. Then we did a camera test, so we activated the altered colors and you accept to analysis the bolt aback it's dry, but you additionally accept to see what happens to it aback it gets wet. We would angle in advanced of it with baptize bottles and aerosol the bolt to attending at it (laughs).
Then there are the guys, of course. How did you improve their swimwear?

Mitch, which is Dwayne's character, he's baron of the sea, No. 1, so he has his own and cipher wears what he's wearing. His bolt was a little altered as able-bodied — he had stretch. The added guys did not accept stretch. The silhouettes are a diminutive bit different; the trunks are best than they were in the aboriginal and there's an able-bodied vibe as well. We did aggregate in red and blue, instead of aloof red. I admired the bond of those two colors calm adjoin the water. It aloof acquainted so American to do the red and the blue.
The words "lifeguard" or "Baywatch" were added in white on the suits. What led to that decision?
It's the red, white and dejected element, affectionate of like the All-American thing. The aboriginal had a patch, so we advised accomplishing a application as well, but it aloof didn't apprehend as well. To me, if you noticed in the aback of CJ's bathing suit, how it said "lifeguard" on the back, it's able and it looks like a uniform. We chose to do belletrist as against to patches, and I anticipate it was aesthetically a bigger choice.
There were a lot of abundant moments with the accessories, abnormally with Stephanie's gold adornment belt and the men's sunglasses.
Accessories are one of the hardest things to do because aback you're cerebration about what bodies abrasion — some bodies abrasion things every distinct day. Accessories are absolutely signature genitalia of people's personality. They're actual specific and absolutely important because you do see them in the movie.
Stephanie's accessories, we fabricated those a little badass — her appearance is boxy as nails, cool smart, cool buttoned up. To me, there's a little absorber basic to that ear belt you're talking about. There's article a little superhero-y about it.

The glasses for Dwayne were from Sama. I admired those glasses because they additionally accept a superhero aspect to them in a way. They are actual abundant shields. They additionally accept a chicken mirror aspect to them. The accompaniment of that blush abutting to his skin, abutting to the beach, abutting to the red — I aloof anticipation it was a absolute combination. Zac's sunglasses were Randolph Engineering.
Then there's Priyanka Chopra, who plays Victoria Leeds, this super-sexy villain. How did you go about creating her look?
She was actual high-end, actual fancy. She's so admirable and so accessible to dress. We capital to accomplish her affectionate of badass. She doesn't see herself as a villain, she sees herself as the hero who's extenuative the bay. I like the abstraction of seeing her in white at first. She's affectionate of brittle and innocent and fresh.
It isn't until the end aback she gets cool aphotic and that catastrophe dress, aback she's on the barge, we fabricated to fit into the activity that she was activity to accept because she was aggressive up those stairs so there was a big aperture up the leg and she had a gun holster up on her thigh that you could see. Aback we knew what she was activity to be doing, I added that big allotment on her accept that flowed in the wind, because we knew it was activity to be windy. So we congenital these two continued pieces advancing from her shoulders. And we acclimated the brownish fabric, so aback the wind hit it, it would absolutely affectionate of pop. I didn't appetite to put her in a ablaze color, so we begin a way to accumulate the blush aphotic but to add blush and flash to still be able to see it in the dark.
I shopped at Saks, Neiman Marcus and Barneys for Priyanka, as able-bodied as advised and fabricated some of her looks. We formed with Christian Louboutin to accept him actualize the argent shoes for the catastrophe arena with her. They were adult and annoying and shiny, which absolutely formed for the night scene.
