I guess when you grow up, you don’t want to talk about what you were interested in when you were 16. But when you’re older you’re like, “Okay. I read The Bell Jar at 15 and it made me depressed.” Now I can see how funny yet amazing that experience was.

TV: There’s value in sharing that inspiration with those around you, much like you do with the brand’s film club, aptly titled “Lucila’s Film Club.” Where did the idea come from?

LS: I went to a film high school and had to analyze movies, write scripts. [Though] I’ll never want to be a filmmaker, I just want to be inside the story. I think movies and clothes are maybe the things I love the most.

My friends Marley, June, and I go to all the small cinemas in London, and sometimes this one 16mm film club. And I thought, “I really want to have my own film club.” June was like, “me too.” And I was like, “oh my god, let’s do a film club together.” We reached out to Genesis Cinema, an independent theater in east London, and they were down to host us.

TV: From Agnes Varda to Barbara Loden, you’ve hosted five showings now, of all female-directed films. What conversations are you having with attendees, and what do you hope they take away from the club?

LS: There are some girls who come to the brand’s pop-ups, then to the film club wearing our clothes and headbands. We chat about what they thought of the movie or which movies they would like to see next. It just becomes a conversation between friends that doesn’t feel forced, not like some kind of networking situation.

We just wanted to see these movies on the big screen and hoped other girls would too. The club is one of the things I love most about the brand: it’s about creating something I’m interested in, creating for a girl that I am or my friends are, and then seeing other girls connect with it too.

TV: If you could do wardrobe for one film, which would it be?

LS: I would love to design for an actual Romanov girls movie — if Sofia Coppola ever did that and made them rock and roll. I would also love to work on a horror movie, maybe Rosemary’s Baby. But maybe not with Polanski.

TV: True. How has curating films for other people to watch in your film club changed the way you approach fashion design?

LS: I’ve realized there are so many 20th-century women directors who I’ve never watched. Doing that research influences my design because I discover so many new ways of communicating visually. The last one we screened was Girls of the Night, a Japanese drama movie from 1961. The characters’ dresses, hairstyles, and energy were all so great. It’s like, this is a collection on its own.
