Round 2 - 2026 (Costume Art / Fashion is Art) - Match 59 of 64

Suleika Jaouad (Christian Siriano), left

"[Siriano] created my gown after being inspired by a photograph of me at eight years old, wearing my grandmother’s traditional Tunisian houli garment and layers of jewelry." "With its red and gold color scheme, the author’s glittering gown also evokes renowned African artist El Anatsui’s metallic tapestry-like sculptures." (x)(x)

vs. Isha Ambani (Gaurav Gupta), right

"[Her] saree draws references from ancient India. The border of her saree featured hand-painted pichwai-inspired motifs with hand embroidery techniques like zardozi, aari work and relief embroidery. According to Vogue, the earthy-toned saree was hand-made by more than 50 artisans who completed it within more than 1,200 hours. The saree came with a cape from the same couture. “It's supposed to be a sculptural element of the saree,” Isha Ambani explained to Vogue at the event. ... Talking about the inspiration behind the look, Ambani explained, “It's a handwoven saree, and the blouse is full of my mother's jewellery. It has different sentimental pieces. It has pieces like gifts when my kids were born. ... Saree is the ultimate symbol of an art form. That's why I picked it.”" (x)
