If there\u2019s a White Lotus<\/a><\/em>-shaped hole in your heart, The Season<\/em> may be just what you\u2019re looking for. While the new Hulu series doesn\u2019t unfold at a lavish resort, it offers a similarly juicy mix of yachts, billionaires behaving badly, and high-stakes drama. And, as with any show centered on the ultra-wealthy, the fashion in The Season<\/em> \u2014 which was made by the same producers as Crazy Rich Asians \u2014 <\/em>is almost as captivating as the storyline itself.<\/p>\n

For some background, The Season<\/em>, which premieres on the streaming service today, follows a group of Hong Kong socialites immersed in the city\u2019s exclusive summer boating scene. To capture that world authentically, costume designer Vera Chow<\/a> drew heavily from her own experiences growing up in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cHong Kong has one of the highest concentrations of billionaires in the world,\u201d Chow observes. Among the city\u2019s wealthiest residents, custom designer pieces from houses like Gucci, Dior, and Chanel are the norm. But unlike in many Western cultures, affluence isn\u2019t necessarily signaled through revealing clothing. According to Chow, the wealthier someone is in Hong Kong, the less skin they\u2019re likely to show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe word sexy or sensual in every East Asian language has a negative connotation,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt has implications of promiscuity.\u201d As a result, tight, figure-hugging silhouettes are often avoided, particularly among high society. Social hierarchy is reflected throughout The Season\u2019<\/em>s wardrobe choices. Portrayed by Karena Lam, Fiona Hext, who is part of the old-money Hext family, rarely reveals much skin \u2014 if any at all. \u201cThat\u2019s class,\u201d Chow says.<\/p>\n
