For Kardashian’s tangerine fiberglass breastplate, Jones reupurosed a cast from 1967 or 1968. “I wanted something original, I didn’t want to cast my own body,” Kardashian says. At first, the breastplate was meant to be pink, but the pair later decided to go forth with Jones’s classic orange, as previously seen on Kate Moss.
The piece was completed over the course of three weeks, from sourcing the fiberglass to painting the breastplate at an auto body shop.
Initially a full-length body cast, Kardashian shortened the piece into a bodysuit to allow for more movement. To go on the bottom, she turned to artisans Patrick Whitaker and Keir Malem of Whitaker Malem to create a leather skirt. Jones painted vibrant sunset orange brush strokes on the skirt to create continuity. “He was adamant that it be something current and fresh that he had just worked on—not just a piece from his past,” Kardashian explains.
If there was anyone who was going to body this year’s theme, of course it would be Kim Kardashian.
