It is no easy feat to construct such a complex garment. Behind every true couture piece stands a superior team of patternmakers, seamstresses, and artisans who transform a creative idea into reality. My team of experts who constructed this gown have obsessed to master their discipline. I am proud to collaborate with each of them.
The human condition is captured within every stitch—the idea to endure and rise above mediocrity—to reach the highest level—America’s destiny. This black and white masterpiece showcases America’s pure spirit of originality, superior engineering, and boundless creativity. It’s a testament as to why America’s fashion industry can lead the rest of the world.
Personally, I relish the entire design process, from start to finish. It takes time, it’s slow, but the end result is always magical. If you had a chance to see my new film, MELANIA, you are well aware of what it took to bring this technical marvel to life.
We must take pride not only in the small rituals of self-care, but in the courageous act of self-expression—our outward appearance to the world. The art of presenting oneself can be cultivated over a lifetime, yet even the young girl who takes care of herself from the inside out with precision every morning, leaves for school with a more confident step, and a steady gaze—confident to claim her place in the world. This spark pays dividends and stays with her for a lifetime.
I am honored to have our creative vision on display here, once again, within the walls of this institution, indefinitely.
