Below, Pearmantalks more about styling characters to represent their internal growth.

How did you go about designing for the new kids at Cavendish?

The new kids from Cavendish College on Sex Education Season 4.

[Cavendish College is] very forward-thinking, very green, very sustainable, very tidy.

All the Cavendish lot were wearing sustainable clothes, stuff that was remade from recycled fabrics.

We had a wardrobe for the [supporting artists] with quite a mix of stuff.

Ncuti Gatwa as Eric Effiong in Sex Education Season 4.

We reused it each time on different people to look like they were clothes-swapping.

I really tried to use smaller, more independent, sustainable brands where we could.

How do the new characters styles influence the original cast?

Jodie Turner-Smith as God on Netflix’s Sex Education.

They have an amazing try-on session and he goes up in there with so much confidence and love.

So its kind of exploring what hes going through with the dress hes in.

So hes not had a chance to evolve.

And we changed the vintage jacket she wears, it’s just a bit more of a mature style.

Jodie Turner-Smithalso joins the cast as God.

How did you go about dressing her character?

That was an amazing, amazing opportunity.

We had a homeless God.

There was one that [was] in a hoodie and nicks his phone.

And we had fisherperson God.

So we had a few different looks for her, which was really good fun.

For the main God, we collaborated with designer Harris Reed.

And his designs totally fitted this amazing godlike character.

If you had to choose your favorite look from the season, what would it be?

The Harris Reed one was amazing.

I think Eric has a few iconic looks that Im really chuffed with.

And his queer party look is incredible.

He wears an amazing kilt we had made for him.

He just rocked it.

He rocks anything, but he looked incredible.

And then I was like, Who else but Eric?
