But one could also argue that the show is a sublime yet subtle study in Hawaiian shirts.
“It was really a lot of just playing around with kind of demented shapes,” she adds. “We'd put something on and be like, 'Yeah that's cute, but I don't know. I kind of think we need to fuck it up a little bit.'"Although the show is set in present day, the clothing was very much an homage to the ‘90s. “It was a lot of throwback to Kurt Cobain, Drew Barrymore, Winona Ryder, even some stuff from Liv Tyler from, iconic youth culture, music-related things,” Laux explains.
“They're so weird because they're kind of not cool and they're ubiquitous, but also it's worn for a really long time,” Laux says of the jacket style from the film. “They just kind of hang off the body in this really great way, so it's part cape, part protection or armor, part just ‘throw-away stupid thing I don't care about.’”
Fun fact: The Dickies shirt Kravtiz wears is also a hat tip to the one Cusack sports in the film, too.In one episode, Rob makes her entrance in her black leather coat and tiny oblong glasses, Neo-style, after having recently watched“It really helped us show a throwback, her love of vintage,” she adds of Rob.

The High Fidelity Reboot Fails to Imagine a Real World in Which Women Are Into RecordsFor many, both versions of High Fidelity—the 1995 novel penned by Nick Hornby and the 2000 movie starring a single-jacket-owning John Cusack—are cult classics. They’re texts that get at the heart of what it’s like to be a person who is very into vinyl records if the only kind of person who can be very into vinyl records is a straight white man. That has been the portrait of the record-collecting nerd ever since the music-geek archetype fastened itself to pop culture. In American Splendor, it’s Harvey Pekar, played by Paul Giamatti; in Ghost World, it’s Steve Buscemi’s Seymour, and so on. On its surface, a gender-swapped reboot of High Fidelity, the new Hulu series starring the impossibly cool Zoë Kravitz, seemed to challenge that notion. Now that the 10-episode season has premiered, it’s clear that any hopeful rewriting was purely cosmetic. The record-collecting manchild trope remains.
