The look debuts with a two-part act on the carpet. With a sculpted wool coat, open seams exposing red crystals from within, adorned with hand curved stripped feathers flaring outwards like a fountain shape. Upon the removal of the “Skin”, a fully crystallised deep red gown is revealed. consists of 659,000 stitches of intricate embroidery and thousands of faceted @swarovski crystals in four shades of red, totalling over 3,280 hours of handwork.

@naomiosaka wears custom @robertwun to the @metcostumeinstitute was a hat by me.
The look was breathtaking: a sculpted ivory coat with red feathers, open seams revealing red crystals, and an undulating wide-brimmed hat handmade in my studio. Beneath it all, a red crystallised gown that reportedly took over 3,200 hours to make. The whole outfit was about shedding skin, transformation, the human form — and Robert brought every bit of it to life.
Watching that reveal on the steps… I had no words. Still don’t, really.
This is why we make hats.
Robert, thank you for trusting me with this. You absolutely won the night. 🖤
