Jun Takahashi’s Undercover womenswear collection presented at Dover Street Market Paris, blends everyday garments with fetish-inspired details, creating a unique and intriguing aesthetic. The presentation showcased bondage-inspired elements, needle-punching techniques, and a playful contrast between pretty and severe. The event also featured a vegan breakfast buffet, adding an element of unexpected whimsy to the experience.
The creation of ‘s iconic 2024 Met Gala look was a collaborative effort involving five editors, a stylist, assistants, a messenger, a publicist, an electrician, and the model herself. The Jun Takahashi light-up terrarium dress, a masterpiece currently on display at the Met, required a complex fitting process and meticulous attention to detail. The dress, with its corset, underdress, and screw-on encasing, presented challenges that the team worked tirelessly to overcome. Despite the stress and challenges, the model, styled by Danyul Brown, pulled off the look with grace and confidence, making a memorable appearance in fashion history.
Model Amelia Hamlin made a stunning debut at the Met Gala, gracing the ‘Enchanted Forest’ red carpet in a breathtaking terrarium dress by Jun Takahashi. The ethereal gown featured sheer fabric adorned with bundles of roses and delicate butterflies, perfectly embodying the theme of the evening and paying homage to the Costume Institute’s exhibition on Karl Lagerfeld.
