We made a custom Look for @chappell roan ! 🖤 @Christopher Minafo and I co-designed this stunning look! Where to begin?! The construction of this ensemble began 6 days before Orange Festival in Warsaw Poland. Genesis Webb and Chappell presented one of the coolest inspirations I have ever seen and knew we had to take it on. This look would combine both my expertise and love for historical fashion, and @christopherminafo’s beautiful painting skills and creative genius. The idea was very meta, and self referential. Chappell would appear multiple times in the outfit, with each of her heads wearing an Elizabethan ruff( including her own.) The process started with a custom 3D head sculpt by Christopher, and then we 3D printed the heads for the hat and the scepter. Christopher, then hand painted her face onto both The Hat and scepter and we finished it off with bright fiery locks of hair to match hers. Both the hat and scepter have their own hats and Elizabethan ruffs🤣 Gunnar created the bra, Bloomer panty, corset, and giant ruff skirt that would later be hand painted with a photo realistic version of chapell’s face onto the corset and bra by Christopher. The idea is that when worn together, the bra and corset would be her face, and once the corset and skirt were torn away in a burlesque style, it would reveal aa Almost great Gatsby-esque set of eyes on the bra. This look consists of SEVEN quilted duchess satin Elizabethan ruffs piped with color shift silk taffeta, Four hand beaded Chantilly lace masks that vary in size to fit the different heads, all crafted by Christopher. Custom shoe laces and appliqués, and a Fuck-Ton of love and hard work.

I transformed 16 pairs of blue jeans into a red carpet worthy ball gown! I grew up in a family where if we wanted something Magical, we had to make it ourselves, so l have always had a love for turning Thrifted things into Magical masterpieces! How do you guys think I did on this one? Model - @lana Klein #DIY #thriftflip #thrift #fashion #style #dresses
This fabric was $450 a yard was it worth it?! You tell me! For full context, I created this gown a few years ago for a client but I felt like it needed another day in the sun! Also this #blackpink song is my jam right now #sewing #dresses #kpop #fashion
