The Costumes of ‘Outlander’ Season 2
By Lesa Walton
To help tide us over until ‘Outlander’ Season 2 premieres sometime in 2016, we’ll be taking a look at all things ‘Outlander’, including things leaked online! Over the last couple months, for example, we’ve gotten a glimpse at the costumes for Season 2, which we know will be more luxurious and detail-oriented, as our beloved Claire and Jamie move into their new lives in France…

Terry Dresbach is the costume designer for Outlander, and over the last few months we’ve seen some sporadic tweets and posts about the upcoming season.
In a June 2015 Variety interview, Dresbach clues us in to the differences between the Scotland costumes and the France costumes.
"“The fabrics are different. Even the cultural aspects — the difference between a costume in England versus France. Nothing’s changed. Clothes are art [to the French], and it’s an expression of art and this is one of the times in history where it was done so exquisitely. [That’s] the reason why fashion never lets go of the 18th century and why Dior’s last collection was once again a nod to the 18th century; Lagerfeld has built a career on 18th century; Vivienne Westwood, it keeps on going. It never ends, fashion’s fascination. Not only is it beautiful, but it is just the sexiest time ever. It celebrates the human form. It’s a beautiful vessel that holds the body."
And of drawing inspiration from Diana Gabaldon’s book Dragonfly In Amber, Dresbach says, “It’s interesting, because we always say that the book — because I’ve read the book a million times since it came out — is our blueprint, but it’s not our Bible.”
In a recent EW interview with Executive Producer Ron Moore, we got these first glimpses of Claire and Jamie’s new looks.

There have been some leaks on Twitter and other social media outlets, too. These photos, taken and posted by Steven Brown show Claire and Jamie, perhaps getting off the boat in France?
While digging through Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, I came across this picture posted on Pinterest that shows Claire on set in France. I love the extras costumes, as well!
