Posen also commissioned Abel Cepeda Ljoka and Will Kowall of the New York brand Seks to create the base of the dress, a leather corset to be worn underneath. \u201cWe 3D-printed her body and made a mannequin and a bust of it that is the corset underneath this,\u201d he explains. Posen draped the fabric to show off the corset like an exposed breast.<\/p>\n
Of course, no homage to Nike is complete without her wings. \u201c[Kendall] said that she wanted it effortless and light,\u201d Posen explains. The pair landed on fashioning the wings in an airy, satin-faced chiffon. \u201cAfter this draping, we started looking at photographic imagery of the actual wings from the Victory of Samothrace, and we created these photographic large-scale 3D prints on fabric,\u201d Posen explains. When Jenner lifts her arms on the carpet, Nike\u2019s wings will fan out as she moves.<\/p>\n
A longtime Met Gala attendee, Jenner has her routine down to a science. \u201cI sit there in glam before I get there and I watch that red carpet on the livestream,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd then to be able to get inside and run into people; I feel every year it\u2019s like my yearly high school reunion.\u201d Still, even on her 12th turn, Jenner admits that she gets some pre-Met jitters: \u201cI\u2019ll probably need a shot before the carpet.\u201d<\/p>\n
