“Everybody loves the sunshine,” Roy Ayers once sang, and so it follows that SZA’s arrival on the red carpet—in a glowing yellow dress by Bode in shades of ochre, marigold, corn, and golden flax— will no doubt spark joy. It’s a colour associated with energy, sunshine, and happiness, after all. “We worked with a vintage dealer who sourced over a hundred yards of yellow fabrics for us in various materials—tulle, taffeta, silk faille, and beadwork on lace,” said Emily Adams Bode Aujla, who teamed up with Vogue and eBay to create a look entirely sourced from the treasures to be found on the online marketplace.
Combining SZA’s wish for “a feeling of regality,” with her the arty Met theme, the designer landed on the Wiener Werkstätte, (Vienna Workshop), the highly influential pre-war design collective focused on craftsmanship and natural themes, as inspiration. (Fun fact: Couturier Paul Poiret was inspired to start his own arts school by the Wiener Werkstätte.) Turning to the Met as a resource, Bode researched Viennese fashion plates as well as those from the 18th-century. These account for the beautiful fullness of the two-tiered flounced skirt and the basque-shaped corset.
