For the Met Gala 2026, anOnlyChild presents “Costume Art” where the body becomes both sculpture and illusion. This piece explores the female form through its natural curves while amplifying volume to create a new, architectural silhouette.
A structured wool mohair corset reveals the inner mechanics of shaping and construction, with a liquid silk satin skirt that moves in contrast, embodying fluidity and motion. Together they form a dialogue between control and release, structure and softness, defining the body between reality and illusion. The silhouette is shaped to reflect Venus Williams’ strength and emphasizing the precision and power of her form.
Inside look at the details that tell a deeper story: only 6% of sports science research focuses on women. We’re closing that gap and it’s just the beginning. @venuswilliams #BodyOfScience
Thank you to @Esquire Magazine for featuring me in their semi-annual “Big Black Book”
For those who may not know, @Kickstarter is fully remote globally (sorry Emma 😅) - so it’s given me the opportunity to be very creative about the way I work.
Also, more to come soon with the fashion category on @Kickstarter 😉
