'Working with Paloma is not only professionally satisfying because she respects my work but it's a beautiful collaboration with a friend . I care how she looks beyond trying to stick a hairstyle on her , and therefore we always try to bring a look that has integrity to Paloma’s taste and aesthetic.

The Party look, in a little lace sixties shift by Dolce & Gabbana, was the only one we decided to freestyle on the night. I wanted to make it playful, a little Bridgette Bardot, but with a modern, dishevelled silhouette. A lot of height and deconstructed texture. I added a little velvet bow at the crown to finish.
