We made a custom Look for @chappell roan ! 🖤 @Christopher Minafo and I co-designed this stunning look! Where to begin?! The construction of this ensemble began 6 days before Orange Festival in Warsaw Poland. Genesis Webb and Chappell presented one of the coolest inspirations I have ever seen and knew we had to take it on. This look would combine both my expertise and love for historical fashion, and @christopherminafo’s beautiful painting skills and creative genius. The idea was very meta, and self referential. Chappell would appear multiple times in the outfit, with each of her heads wearing an Elizabethan ruff( including her own.) The process started with a custom 3D head sculpt by Christopher, and then we 3D printed the heads for the hat and the scepter. Christopher, then hand painted her face onto both The Hat and scepter and we finished it off with bright fiery locks of hair to match hers. Both the hat and scepter have their own hats and Elizabethan ruffs🤣 Gunnar created the bra, Bloomer panty, corset, and giant ruff skirt that would later be hand painted with a photo realistic version of chapell’s face onto the corset and bra by Christopher. The idea is that when worn together, the bra and corset would be her face, and once the corset and skirt were torn away in a burlesque style, it would reveal aa Almost great Gatsby-esque set of eyes on the bra. This look consists of SEVEN quilted duchess satin Elizabethan ruffs piped with color shift silk taffeta, Four hand beaded Chantilly lace masks that vary in size to fit the different heads, all crafted by Christopher. Custom shoe laces and appliqués, and a Fuck-Ton of love and hard work. I need to shout out the team who helped make this happen because WOW! -Stylist/ Creative Direction: @genesis webb -Designers: Gunnar Deatherage & Christopher Minafo -Custom Painting: Christopher Minafo -Seamstress/ Stitchers: @Renacio , @juliabrowndesign , Allie Pawlukojc Makeup inspo for the paintings/Chappell’s makeup: @1800andrewdahling Hair- @Dom Forletta Photos- @raganhenderson -3D Print Tech: “MD” #chappellroan #DIY #costume #fashion #design #sewing #chappell

We made a custom look for @chappell roan ! Where to begin?! The construction of this ensemble began just six days before Orange Festival in Warsaw, Poland. @genesis webb and Chappell presented one of the coolest inspirations I’ve ever seen, and we knew we had to take it on. This look would combine both my expertise and love for historical fashion with Chris’ incredible photorealistic painting skills and creative genius. ( we painted this in 3 days when he usually spends like 6 months on a painting, so can you imagine if he’d have had 6 months😍 The concept was meta and self-referential: Chappell would appear multiple times in the outfit, with each of her heads wearing an Elizabethan ruff (including her own). The process started with a custom 3D head sculpt by Christopher, which we then 3D printed for both the hat and the scepter. Christopher hand-painted her face onto each piece, and we topped them off with fiery locks of hair to match hers. Yes—both the hat and the scepter have their own hats and ruffs. 🤣 I created the bra, bloomer panty, corset, and giant ruff skirt, which Christopher later hand-painted with a photo-realistic version of Chappell’s face across the corset and bra. The idea was that, when worn together, the bra and corset would form a portrait of her face. Then, in a burlesque-style reveal, the corset and skirt could be torn away to uncover a nearly Great Gatsby-esque set of eyes on the bra underneath. This look includes: • Seven quilted duchess satin Elizabethan ruffs, piped with color-shifting silk taffeta • Four hand-beaded Chantilly lace masks, each scaled to fit a different “head” • A 3D sculpted and printed version of Chappell’s head, hand-painted as a Venetian doll—complete with a mask, gloved hands holding its own scepter, and an ornate, surreal vibe • A 3D sculpted and printed miniature version of her head, also hand-painted and dressed in its own tiny hat and Elizabethan ruff • Custom shoelaces and appliqués • And a fuck-ton of love and hard work Massive shoutout to the team who helped bring this to life—WOW: Stylist / Creative Direction: @genesiswebb Designers: @gunnardeatherage @christopherminafo Custom Painting: @christopherminafo Seamstresses / Stitchers: @Renacio , Julia Brown, and Allie Pawlukojc Makeup Inspiration for the Paintings: @1800andrewdahling 3D Print Tech: “MD” I also have to give a massive thank-you to my Project Runway family. We just moved to New York and don’t have a full team set up yet—this caliber of creation needed many talented hands. My PR fam rallied around me to make sure I was taken care of. I cannot say thank you enough: @Candice Cuoco , @an_erin , @mondo guerra , and @garosparo . And a super special shoutout to @Brittany Allen for taking time out of your day to give me a masterclass in working with stretch, so I could create the sickest pair of bloomer panties possible! #chappellroan #tour #orangefestival #orangefest #chappell #costume #design
