Some might say drug dealing is a terrible thing, and there's no doubt about it, but cooking meth has never been as glorious as it is now thanks to the return of our favorite show on cable television, Breaking Bad. New York Magazine's Vulture sat down with costume designer Jennifer Bryan to talk about Walt's transformation into an ominous drug kingpin and how it translates to his season five wardrobe. Since the characters are already so well-established, Bryan explained that she didn't want to implement any radical changes in their wardrobes that would confuse viewers. Even with this roadblock she managed to figure out new ways to give Walt a more sinister look. Bryan spoke about introducing subtle color changes and adding new textures to his wardrobe, and if you're the true Breaking Bad fan that you claim you are, you've probably noticed the badassery by now.
And let's talk about Walt's obsession with Clarks for a moment. You know what I'm talking about, those classic Wallabee's he rocks 24/7/365. He strictly wore the same pair since forever, but Jennifer flipped the script and said fuck that, no drug lord of mine will be cooking methamphetamine like some peasant and outfitted him with three different colors this season. And as big of a Walter White (and Heisenberg) fan as we are, that black pork pie hat? Get the fuck outta here man. There is not one person in this world who can pull that off without looking like an Amish creep. You can read the rest of the cast's sartorial developments in their full interview.
