The figure-hugging and slashed gown references Versace silhouettes of the 1990s Supermodel era, while a construction of gold thread French tweed, featuring degradé embroidered ton-sur-ton paillette, and Swarovski crystal, recalls Lagerfeld's time at the House of Chanel. Chanel Camellia flowers decorate the bust. Embellishments include custom-made Medusa Safety Pins with pearls, and Medusa emblems.
The pearl white color palette is in reference to bridal gowns of both Chanel and Versace. The design took the Atelier over 450 hours of handcraft and 15 meters of fabric to complete. The gown was worn with matching tweed motorcycle jacket and long gloves.
