Round 2 - 2026 (Costume Art / Fashion is Art) - Match 39 of 64

Cardi B (Marc Jacobs), left

"Cardi B arrived as a Surrealist fever dream courtesy of Marc Jacobs, with her body reworked into the uncanny proportions of Hans Bellmer. Bellmer, a 1930s provocateur, is best known for his disturbing, meticulously staged photographs of dolls—limbs rearranged, torsos doubled, bodies fragmented into something both hyperfeminine and deeply unsettling. Jacobs pulled directly from that visual language, exaggerating Cardi’s hips, shoulders, and silhouette into something sculptural and slightly off-kilter." (x)

vs. Emma Chamberlain (Mugler), right

"“I’m somebody who really believes that fashion is art,” Chamberlain said. In envisioning her look, she took inspiration from both her family and her lifelong love of art. “My dad is an oil painter and a watercolor painter, and I grew up in a very creative household with art all over my house,” she said. For Chamberlain, paintings—and paint itself—are nostalgic and comforting. She and Ellner wanted her gown to feel like one, incorporating textures, colors, and themes from some of her favorite works. “There is sort of this watercolor feel, and I love watercolor painting,” she said. “But then also there’s a creepy, sort of ominous undertone to the gown, like the way that it moves. And that is very much my taste in art.” To begin the custom design process, Chamberlain and Ellner sent art references (including works by Van Gogh and Munch) to Castro Freitas and the Mugler team, then had a three-hour conversation to talk through ideas. Ellner also selected archival Mugler looks as influences, including a butterfly dress from 1997. ... The result is a stunning gown, designed by Castro Freitas and hand-painted by artist Anna Deller-Yee, that literally turned Chamberlain’s body into a canvas. It’s a feeling she loves. “I really am someone who enjoys fashion the most when I get to be a complete blank canvas,” she said. The dress took Deller-Yee 40 hours to paint, working with 30 base colors, and four days to dry." (x)
