Luckily, there was plenty to go around. \u201cI walked into the showroom and I said: \u2018I want that.\u2019 I saw it on the mannequin,\u201d added Gray, describing her sequined fringe bra top. \u200a<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe model has a busy few days ahead: she came straight from set, and is headed back to set in the morning, before flying 20 hours for another shoot.

I have a beautiful team of people that have been working really hard to make my vision come to light. \u200aThe theme is kind of up for interpretation. \u200aIt\u2019s art in the eye of the beholder.
