Wearing the Starfleet uniform,
it's quite flattering.
It's sleek.
It's cool.
It's fitted.
I would say it's much less '60s
than The Original Series,
but more '60s than Discovery.
And a lot more forgiving.
That's the most important part.
It's the iconic Starfleet uniform,
and I have my own.
That's nuts to me.
I think the mission statement for Strange New Worlds
is to pay tribute to the nostalgia of TOS.
Not replicate, but kind of just pay tribute.
TOS started in 2266,
and we are in Strange New Worlds at 2256.
And it's about a year after we last saw Pike on Discovery.
So I'm kind of caught in these
two very visually different shows.
So we kind of had to come up with a way
to marry them together.
What we did was we used the kind
of strong silhouette of Discovery.
They had these great strong shoulders,
a superhero kind of silhouette.
And it was just a little more casual in TOS.
So we wanted to kind of elaborate
on the uniforms in that way
and just, yeah, make it a little more comfortable
for the actors as well.
We decided to open it up
and reintroduce the Starfleet dress.
It changes the silhouettes. The Starfleet dress is,
again, part of the nostalgia of The Original Series.
The tunic is something that can be worn by any gender.
We've used a microprint on the tops of the shoulders
and down the sleeves.
And Sarah, maybe you can tell us about microprint.
Yeah, a fun detail for fans is that
our microprint, we did a different microprint
for each department.
So, the gold Command is the star.
Our Science microprint is the planet,
and the Engineering micro print is the spiral.
And then also for Medical, we did the cross.
So each one is specific to their department.
The next set of costumes we have is the Medical.
It's a great fusion of Discovery and TOS, in my opinion.
So the Medical team in Discovery
wore these medical white costumes.
We've updated it with our own microprint,
but they look amazing on anyone who wears them.
It's a glowing white, full-body, skintight jumpsuit.
I have been compared to a fluorescent tube light.
Ow!
It's kind of a nice challenge every day,
trying not to get anything on it.
'Cause if you breathe in the wrong direction,
then you get a smudge.
But I feel a million bucks in it as well.
It was a beautiful moment to have that
streamlined, beautiful blue--sea blue--color on
with the black strip.
So the Medical tunic
is kind of influenced
by Bones from the TOS era.
It's a really classic round neck
with the black kind of trim.
We've updated it with this magnetic closure,
and the microprint is the Medical symbol.
So it was an experience.
You're putting that uniform on,
knowing the people that have worn it.
I giggled, I giggled like a child.
It's like the stamp, that final thing
that's concrete and cementing us
into the realism of the moment.
And I hope that the fans at home
see the attention to detail
because what Costumes is doing
with these, they're incredible.
And I think that is just another piece
of what the die-hard fans
are really, really going to appreciate.
