For Jenner and stylist Marni Senofonte, it was important for Jenner’s ensemble to honor her time working with Lagerfeld. They worked with Marc Jacobs on a custom design that referenced Lagerfeld’s archival swimwear designs from the ’90s. To begin creating the vision for the look, Senofonte and Jenner started by creating a Pinterest board filled with different inspirations and references. On the board was a whole section of Lagerfeld’s Chanel brides, as well as Lagerfeld’s swimwear designs (such as looks from his spring 1993 and 1994 collections for Chanel). “I didn’t know much about Karl, I met him once in passing, so I wanted to get to know him and his story,” Senofonte tells Vogue. “I also called Olivier [Rousteing] from Balmain, who was good friends with him, to get a good jist of him.”
Once they narrowed in the focus, Senofonte and Jenner were drawn to the idea of bringing a swimsuit style silhouette to the Met. “All of his swimwear is so iconic—I love that iconic Naomi bikini [from Chanel’s 1994 collection]” says Senofonte. They landed on a sequined bodysuit style, complete with an elegant cape and collar detail (very Karl). “[Kendall and I] have done five Mets together, so to make it different, we were looking at all of the shapes and silhouettes shes done The bodysuit was a silhouette we’ve never done before, and you dont ordinarily see it on a red carpet.” Photo Getty ImagesThe black and white motif of the look, meanwhile, was another thoughtful nod to Karl’s signature color combo. For Senofonte, the end result proved to be the perfect mixture of inspiration, fun, and execution. “I love doing the Met with Kendall,” she says. “It’s always so much fun. She’s so into it—this is her Oscars! She loves fashion and trying new things.”
