This video takes viewers behind the scenes of Kim Kardashian's preparations for her 13th Met Gala. In this feature, she details the creative journey behind her look, which draws heavy inspiration from the art of Allen Jones.
Key Highlights of the Look:
- Artistic Inspiration: Kim decided to honor the theme of fashion and art by collaborating with artist Allen Jones, specifically referencing his fiberglass breastplate sculptures from the late 1960s (2:14-2:45).
- Collaborative Process: Since the original fiberglass art piece was rigid and prevented movement, Kim worked with leather sculptors Patrick Whitaker and Keir to transform it into a wearable, flexible bodysuit combined with a leather skirt (3:02-3:16).
- Artistic Contribution: Allen Jones himself painted the piece, emphasizing that he wanted it to feel fresh and current rather than just a vintage archival look (3:19-3:39).
- Creative Direction: The look was art directed by Nadia Lee Cohen, with whom Kim conducted a test shoot to evaluate hair, makeup, and how the materials would photograph under different lighting conditions (1:07-1:31, 4:44-5:08).
- The Hair and Makeup Strategy: The team intentionally opted for a "wiggy," synthetic look to match the aesthetic of Allen Jones’s work, leaning away from Kim's typical natural styling (4:21-4:40). By the end of the fitting, they were considering reverting to her natural dark hair to provide a better contrast with the vibrant orangey-gold color of the garment (6:55-7:12).
