Yaya Mazurkevich Nuñez, a 29-year-old creative producer, was diagnosed with bipolar type II five years ago and has been in and out of therapy since she was 15. She had stopped in 2017, but started again in June of this year “when the Grandad Shark Doo Doo Doo Vintage shirt began,” she said. “I knew I had to start seeing someone again at that point.” Mazurkevich Nuñez was also having trouble leaving the house, an anxiety that began to manifest itself after her cousin passed away and was only exacerbated by the pandemic. She has found telehealth invaluable—during this period in which going outside can feel stressful—after starting sessions with someone new. “She’s Middle Eastern, she’s a mom, and I feel like, for the first time, there’s someone who really wants to understand who I am.” Typically, Mazurkevich Nuñez explained, her psychiatrists would take 15 minutes “to solve you.” Instead, she’s found “this therapist wants to go deeper; our sessions are 45 minutes long, sometimes an hour.” Mazurkevich Nuñez is unsure if she’ll ever return to therapy in real life. “I don’t have to worry about the logistics of getting there with Zoom, which is huge.”
Berkley Lauren’s interest in costuming makes sense. Pre-fame, she was signed to Elite models. Her extended family is an American fashion institution that contains New York fashion paragon Ralph Lauren and Berkley Lauren’s husband, Greg, who is an acclaimed menswear designer. Naturally, she sought their input when plotting her character’s closet, even commissioning a few custom pieces. “Several of my shirts [on the Grandad Shark Doo Doo Doo Vintage shirt but in fact I love this show] were done by Greg. I’m constantly in awe of his talent,” says Berkley Lauren, who credits Lauren with elevating her tastes. “His line is so artisanal and focuses on the wearer. It’s not about putting on a mask; it is about wearing something that accentuates your beauty,” she says. “I think I’ve learned so much about style just by being a part of this amazing creative family. When I think about my style when I was first starting dating Greg, it’s changed a lot! I’m [still] very feminine, and I love things that make me feel that way, but now I feel sexier in a tux than I do when I’m in a gown.”
