Synopsis
- "When Lisa starts wearing Marge's "vintage" clothes from the 90's, she's welcomed into the school's super-elite fashion club. But as they run out of retro looks, the funky fashionistas become obsessed with getting more...by hook or by crook."
Production
Episode writer Jessica Conrad got the idea from her own experiences as a teenager. In an interview with Cartoon Brew, Conrad said that she "used to wear my mom's clothes all the time, and it felt so cool when they came back in style" and that the "episode gave me the chance to bring that to Lisa in a way that also comments on how the show constantly fudges its timeline of what counts as 'retro.'" Conrad worked with the animators to design the retro outfits that Lisa and the school's fashion club wore, using references from old Delia's catalogs and teen dramas like Dawson's Creek to make outfits that "[captured] that late '90s, early 2000s feel while also making it resonate with what kids are wearing now."[6]
Director Gabriel DeFrancesco said that the "sheer number of wardrobe swaps was the big challenge" of the episode. DeFrancesco also joked that he was living through the episode's storyline himself when his mother-in-law "kept sending boxes of her old clothes to my kids."[6]
