We are in Vogue!

We had an honor and pleasure of working on an outfit for Cheryl B. Engelhardt for her appearance at the 65th Annual GRAMMYS.

Cheryl B. Engelhardt, a Stamford, CT native, and her album “The Passenger,” written and recorded on a train, were nominated for Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album in the 2023 Grammy Awards.
 
In her Instagram post, Cheryl said her Red-Carpet Look was a talking point in her interviews and it ended up on Vogue (scroll to slide 126/262)

Here is a brief story of how it was made:
This beautiful and talented young woman has approached us asking if we could make a gala skirt for this super special occasion, and without any hesitation, we said “YES!”
She said she wanted her skirt to take up a lot of room, so we ordered two big bolts of fabric, rolled up the sleeves and started working on this fun project!

Cheryl on her end had asked her fans and friends if they wanted to join her, so they emailed her photos of their hand-written names (we have added ours too!), as well as signatures of her loved ones who passed and her own from her 8-year-old diary.

In the mannequin’s hand: a copy of Cheryl’s own signature from her diary when she was 8 - one of approximately a hundred of her fans’ handwritten names sewn onto her taffeta top

We have worked in team with Brooks at @brooksltd who has created a top covered with flowers cut out of silk taffeta with printed signatures Cheryl has collected.

We have made the silk taffeta ball skirt in a fantastic peacock color and ended up enhancing the top and adding a velvet chocker with silk organza and taffeta flower , embroidered with Swarovski crystals and pearls in the center.
 
This was a very fun project!

Although “there was no gramophone this year, it was a good day … but being #grammynominated is a game changer and I am changing the game”, Cheryl wrote in her Twitter post on February 7, 2023.
 
We are very excited for her #grammynomination2024 and in our heads we have already started designing her look to take even more space in the room and on the stage for the glorious moment when she receives the well-deserved Grammy Award!
