The fashion in Gilead has some serious politics behind it. HandmaidsTale

"Nick [is] a newly minted Commander, he has no star because he’s still a junior," Bronfman said of's character. "Then you see Commanders that had one star. And then, in Washington, you saw some Commanders that had two stars. So there are different levels and clearly in Washington [with] it being the hub of the universe for Gilead, the real upper echelon would be in Washington.

"I mean, they basically hoarded all this stuff coming from the rest of the world and then this is the only place they can actually show it," she added. "They went all out... It's very much like when victors, the conquerors, steal all the stuff from society and hoard for themselves. Every world war we see there’s artwork missing.

"The premise for her dress was that the Waterfords went to Washington not knowing that there was a gala. And her dress was sort of something that was made pretty much that day or the day before," Bronfman said. "And because Serena didn’t really know what goes on at these galas, like, flirting and drinking and smoking, and sort of how embellished they all were, she’s still, I think, in her mind trying to keep the piousness of being covered up and not ostentatious.

The designer continued by revealing that"she had a very demure fascinator -- not one of those big ones that the other ones had. And, also, the premise of that is you never wanna out-stage the hostess at her own gala."As for what fans can expect from the rest of the third season, Bronfman promised that it"leaves off at a fantastic place," before pointing to returning to Serena's journey on the show.
