For me, haute couture is about authorship. It means letting go—of playing it safe, and of dressing to signal belonging—in favor of joy, playfulness, and the freedom to take risks in creative storytelling. As more women step into greater agency, I hope we encourage one another’s self-expression as we write our own narratives. 🤍

40 meters of steel bones and piano strings.
Multiple artists from NYC, Seattle and Paris sculpting and folding.

And a lot of love.

🤍🪽🤍 It was a dream to design this MET Gala dress inspired by John Galliano’s Madame Butterfly collection; incorporating the winged Victoire of Samothrace, a symbol of feminine strength; and drawing from Gaultier’s 2016 collections.Even more dreamy was for Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture atelier to bring it to life with such loving care in mere weeks, working through weekends in Paris and experimenting with techniques such as hanging folds (made by Chanel’s Lognon workshop) on piano cords, while Mio draped the sculpture in NYC.Truly a community effort and a project I’ll cherish forever 🤍🪽🤍
