How did you collaborate on the dress? JESSICA ALBA: Tory presented some really beautiful options. We chatted about what materials and silhouettes are most flattering on me, and we put the concepts together. TORY BURCH: I found a beautiful laser-cut leather and asked Brad [Goreski, Alba's stylist] about whether it would be a good option for Jessica. They liked the idea, and we then came up with several sketches and she picked the graphic cutout fishtail silhouette.
What excited you most about working with each other? JESSICA: I look up to Tory as a businesswoman and designer. She has exquisite taste, and her pieces reflect that. TORY: Jessica is an incredible person and a good friend. In addition to being an actor, she’s an entrepreneur and a devoted mother, so we always have a lot to talk about.
Is the laser-cut pattern based on something, or was it designed by the Tory Burch team? TORY: The laser-cut pattern is a floral design. I love the idea of using a tough material and making it feminine with a floral element.
What about punk culture, music, and fashion inspires you to translate this to your Met Ball gown? JESSICA: Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen have always been inspirations of mine (even one of The Honest Company’s signature diaper patterns features skulls). My dog is named after Sid Vicious. I love the Sex Pistols and The Pixies. The satirical nature, social commentary, and political issues of the punk movement that are expressed through fashion and music is something that I have always gravitated toward.
