There was one dress everyone couldn’t stop talking about after the Met Gala: Karolina Kurkova‘s custom Rachel Zoe Collection gown. FabSugar caught up with the designer behind the gold confection, Rachel Zoe, who divulged how such a stunning creation came to be.
“I spent a lot of nights dreaming about what I wanted it to look like,” she said. Long sleeves, a very low back and a high neck were all musts for the dress, but the much-talked about headpiece was a last-minute addition.
“It happened literally the day before,” the stylist-turned-designer revealed. ”I thought, ‘What can I add to really take it to the next level?’ So we made the turban-slash-head-wrap to give it that deco-glamour that [Elsa] Schiaparelli was so known for.”
Although the turban was the perfect topper to the gorgeous gown, the woman wearing it brought the whole look together. “Obviously when you put something on Karolina, it’s even better because it’s on Karolina,” Zoe commented.
