Below,Byrdiespoke to her about how she styled the show and how fans can find their ownDaisylook.
Daisy Jones & The Six
You have a background in rock n roll.
How did you find your way to this project?
Warner Music Group
I really got into the punk and New Wave scene, especially in the 80s.
They need a stylist.
I was 22 or something, so I said, Sure.
Daisy Jones & The Six
I did that for a year, and it was fun.
I got to see the world.
The only reason I stopped traveling with them is because they broke up.
Daisy Jones & The Six
[Flash forward to 2019 and] I was in New Orleans doing a Russell Crowe movie.
So I made my own book based on the novel.
I did this whole entire presentation of visuals and then bound it together.
Daisy Jones & The Six
I had tried to keep it very real and very authentic.
I tried to use real photographs of real people.
I didn’t want the show to look costume-y.
Daisy Jones & The Six
I wanted it to look real, like you were watching a documentary about a band.
How did you picture Daisy Jones style?
Riley told me, I don’t want to be Stevie Nicks.
This is not a biopic of Fleetwood Mac.
Riley wanted Daisy to be Daisy, not Stevie.
I also pulled fromCher when she was with Gregg Allman, because she had great looks then.
There were so many different inspirations during that time, because there were so groundbreaking women.
They were ball busters.
I love that group.
In the book, we start out in Pittsburgh and it’s the late ’60s.
They hadn’t caught up.
Everything looks great on her.
How did you crack Daisys look for the big finale concert at Soldier Field?
Every time Riley would come in for a fitting, wed try a bunch of stuff on her.
I was like, Okay, thats a great start.
So we knew we were going to go with gold, and then we found this cape.
Well, it was a caftan.
It wasn’t a cape.
Riley said, Let’s just cut it down the middle and make it into a cape.
It was just amazing.
She got on stage and we were shooting in New Orleans and the weather was hot.
There was a storm coming in.
She lifted her arms, and the lights hit her outfit and everybody gasped.
You never know how it’s going to work but it just ended up being perfect.
This look was perfect.
Its just a great way to end the series.
Its a whole thing.
These people were making rock and roll pieces that arenow collector’s items.
He’s tried and true.
I didn’t want to make it look like The Six was coming off of a runway or something.
It looked like she was going to a 70s costume party.
It looked so done.
Also, in the 70s, they wore vintage stuff.
They bought stuff at thrift stores.
A lot of the stuff I used on Riley was from the 20s and 30s.
She has this Japanese robe that was from the 1920s.
That stuff was all really fragile.
Not everything was new at the time, though.
They didn’t buy new stuff because they didn’t have money.
How did you style Simone (Nabiyah Be)?
She really goes from kind of a girl group backup singer to a disco diva.
That was a whole other rabbit hole.
All those people had some really great outfits.
My seamstress knocked it out of the park.
Lets say I want to put together my ownDaisy Jones-inspired look.
How would you recommend I go about doing that?
Ive been athrift storeshopper my whole life.
Sustainable fashion has been part of me forever.
So Id recommend going to thrift stores.
Daisy has some great coats, but I also really like that whole cut off jean/cowboy boots style.
People don’t wear cowboy boots anymore.
They’re a little passe, but I think cowboy boots should come back.
Throw on a leather jacket and a big belt buckle and theres nothing sexier.
