“I wanted it to be tactical, so the shoulders are a little tougher,” she explained. “I also wanted him to be able to remove a layer or be in the layer and still be the Arrow, but not have the full fig on.”

“I added a little bit more to the arms, the chest has been curved out from the original design and the color of his crest has changed, I look at the iconic comic book character and then what I try and do is extrapolate from that and bring it into a more grounded universe.”

On Felicity Smoak new look:

“We still want to maintain that sense of fun,” said Mani of elevating Felicity’s look, but avoiding a “hard-edged suit.” She will continue to wear a high-low mix of H&M, Topshop, Sandro and Victoria Beckham. We’ll also get a peek at Felicity’s personal style outside of the corner office (and the Arrow lair). “Now that we see her in her home, we have more opportunity to show a casual side of her, which in the past we haven’t had a chance to do.”
