I think this principle is very beautiful, because here,
you can't see the finish anymore, and it's very nice.
And it's right, there are patches and everything, but if we could get
that kind of density in a smaller way,
because there will be marquise cuts and rhinestones,
so that the specific rim density responds.
Hi Vogue, Hi Vogue, it’s Sabrina Carpenter, let’s get ready for my first Met Gala !
The Met is one of the biggest fashion events of the year.
It's a time to celebrate fashion, to celebrate designers, to celebrate the industry.
It's a time for gala, for celebration and also for having fun with fashion.
The idea of just completely being in an ideal red carpet fantasy, like this.
We come to present our creations on talents we admire
or with whom we wanted to work.
The Met is a good opportunity to meet people, too.
It’s kind of just like, what ever I wanted.
It’s just like, you woke up and you were like “I want to go to Met” ?
Yes.
I like to work on the idea of evening dresses
when there is a lot of creative freedom.
I like the idea of being free from the evening dress,
from what it means and what it can imply
to make other, newer and more suitable suggestions
according to our current situation or to what we might want to experience in these events.
Anna Wintour is rather expecting surprise in what we are going to offer.
And often, by the way, it's quite interesting because when we arrive,
she can recognize the dress before she sees the designer behind.
It's quite funny to surprise her again like this.
We chose to go for a very "couture" skirt with a large volume,
entirely embroidered with sequins, with an almost traditional spirit,
and to contrast the attitude with a mini-brassiere,
as if the dress had been cut in two
and it gave it a much more modern attitude that reflects its image, in fact.
And this is from our designer.
Thank you !
The idea of metallic glitter mixed with rhinestones,
for me, it obviously reminds me of Paco Rabanne's metal.
But the idea of going for a certain type of dress that reminds me more of
old Hollywood ones or that kind of almost American sewing technique.
We had the whole belt embroidered at Lesage with marquise cuts and round rhinestones
which we obviously assembled to the skirt.
And then we embroidered other little marquise cuts
and other small rhinestones
to make sure we get that richness and texture of the gradient embroidery on the belt
which fades into the sequins of the skirt.
We could have two more like that.
Yes.
Maybe we should have the same at the back?
What do you think?
For me, the idea of a Paco Rabanne woman
is always the idea of a modern woman, independent and very strong.
I think that's what he wanted to put in place by symbolizing that strength and independence
by the idea of wearing amazon metal, like this.
I’m kind of a pro at the kick walk,
I didn’t know I could do that.
So, I think I might have a more gentle view,
of women, and that's the idea, anyway.
But beyond Paco Rabanne, it's my idea of what I do,
to be with women in their lives and to be able to offer them tools
or help to be who they want to be at that moment.
So obviously, women who inspire me are women,
not even necessarily women as such, physically,
it's more what women do in general.
I can be very admiring of a writer
whose novel I found absolutely fantastic
or a female director or actress.
And it's often for these women that I want to create,
by observing them, by imagining what they would like to embody
and especially what they represent
and how to symbolize even more, express even more than what they are,
by expressing it through clothes.
