Before Pierce knew it, she was traveling to London to present Chung with a selection of pieces for potential red carpet events, one of which, a “decoration on decoration,” transparent, star and flower detail top and skirt with an appliquéd floating flower overthrow from her “Two For Joy” collection was chosen as her look for the Met Gala 2023. “Alexa’s mood changed when she saw the look,” Pierce says. “It’s so nice knowing that they can have that effect on people.” Divulging on how the intricate layers of Chung’s ethereal look was designed, Pierce explains “The top is made up of multiples of satin crepe squares, patchworked together with overlaid delicate daisy stitched organza. The squares are manipulated and pulled to create a highly textured centered flower throughout the piece. We appliquéd these larger organic smocked flowers that were joined together with bows that float on top, forming a collage of pretty details. The skirt is made up of strips of a delicate star flower embroidery set on a gauzy organza that floats. High shine satin crepe strips are [also] smocked to form these little swirling petals that hug the waist and legs.”Delicate floral motifs are signature of Pierce’s fledgling womenswear label.
Pierce’s all white collections reference the ceremonial items that were made by unmarried mothers in the Magdalene Laundries, institutions that housed “fallen women” during the 18th and 19th centuries. “Clothing for communions, baptisms, weddings,” she says. The inspiration offers a notable connection to Lagerfeld’s design heritage and the notion of the haute couture bride. “I really think that the pieces are more beautiful in white,” Pierce smiles, explaining that the intricate flower and star details on Chung’s look only become visible on further inspection. “When you look closer you see all these fine details.” Her color palette also references traditional Irish white on white embroidery, noted particularly on antique linens. Evoking Karls own love of two tone, Chung paired the look with black Jimmy Choo court shoes (the pump of autumn/winter 2023).
