I Made a COLOR CHANGING Dress for the Met Gala! Actual Magic!

This was by FAR the hardest thing I’ve had to create. Everything was hard from the amount of cutting, the dye being sensitive to light, and in the middle of this project, my cat passed away, which is why you’ll see little cats in the motif. It was our way of honoring her❤️ I adore the way this dress came out and I’m just thankful to be able to create and explore new ideas. This one is dedicated to my sweet Cat, Beebs.

[@GunnarDeatherage]

If you see the cats in the design, it’s because my sweet 11 year old kitty passed away during the week we were making this dress. I was so upset , but had to finish this project( it was a good distraction.) so I though it would be sweet to put her into the design to honor her and all the time and dresses she got to see me make. Also, all of the flowers on the base dress were from the flower arrangements friends and family who loved her sent ! So the whole dress is a tribute to her

TYLA'S dress, Anok Yai's jumpsuit, Wisdom Kaye's outfit, HARRIS REED would eat this dress, no offense. Elle fanning slayed(I mean it was sleeping beauty's awakening fashion and she is sleeping beauty. She is the theme). Mindi Kayling, as much as I don't like her, ate as well. Don't exaggerate. It gives room for people to diminish the work that you are complementing. Also, don't compliment people by pulling others down especially when you're exaggerating. A lot of the MET looks were meh, let's be real, but there were many amazing looks.

This gown was completely INCLUSIVE of the theme in every way. Gunther I am really proud of you for your design. There was NOTHING as organic as this. ( Perhaps the woman who wore all of the ancient stones, however, I thought that it was stupid the way she played them against a nude body stocking. It was more about her posing than the actual beauty of the stones.)

The fact that you included your cat in this design is both so precious and is on point with the sleeping beauty theme. 🥹

[@Alt-ub2wd]

Absolutely! Also does any1 know if there's a long form video of this dress & it being made? As i really really want to watch 1 for the full breakdown of the process & the dress. Its too incredible not to want to see it all & in more detail with a long vid, plus to be able to support the creator more (the short just felt way too short for how amazing it is & to show it all off in its incredible glory)!

[@sherei9530]

Lackluster is so pleasant, thanks. We all realize some gowns were just gr..., we'll, questionable.

[@glPerfectDay]

​@@sherei9530 Fr. 😬 And none of them really seemed to match the theme -- either of them, as there seems to be a debate on whether it was "Garden of Time", or "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" -- except for the seemingly random flower appliques here and there. The closest that I saw were Demi Moore, Lana Del Ray and, shockingly, Tyla -- the latter of whom at least got the "Time" motif right, but emulated "Sands of Time" instead (if we're going with "Garden of Time"). Cara Delevingne, who normally is closer to the theme, was more like the theme of several years back, with her very "Joan of Arc" outfit. And Michael Shannon was just carrying around a bag of designer POTATO CHIPS, by Balenciaga. Like, some were just so off the wall. There were definitely some gorgeous ensembles, but the theme just wasn't there. I think the designer who came closest to the theme was probably Harris Reed (dressed themselves and Demi). How about we rename this Met Gala what we're all thinking, though, and really hit the nail on the head? "Hunger Games Awakened: The Capitol". (Oh Blake Lively, Queen of the Red Carpet, where were you when we needed you?) All of that being said, THIS dress, this GORGEOUS, color-changing creation, belongs on the Met Gala steps far more than any other outfit that made it there this year.

[@ChromeOfTheFuture]

@@glPerfectDaygarden of time was the dress code for the carpet and sleeping beauties is the exhibit. I thought a good handful of people actually did well with the theme. The exhibit is about fashion that has degraded or is too fragile to be worn. The garments are “the sleeping beauties”. I feel like many people took the “garden” aspect a little too literall.

This dress is such a sweet memorial to your kitty. Even the color change symbolizes how the years change us all; the green illustrates our journey on this (green) Earth, then turning into our peaceful eternity in (blue, sky) Heaven. I’m so sorry for your kitty’s passing. It sounds like you were able to use the dress as a bit of a distraction. Perhaps making the dress with so many tributes to her was even a bit cathartic for you and has hopefully helped with the healing process. All of the hidden meanings on the dress make it that much more beautiful.

[@Caterina...3]

First, I'm so sorry about losing your fur baby! They're our babies! It's so sweet that the dress is a memorial to your sweet baby! THAT DRESS! THAT BEAUTIFUL DRESS!!! That dress is magnificent! The china you used as inspiration is MY CHINA!!! It's the most beautiful, delicate and elegant Blue Willow China. That endeared me to the dress even more. It has that sophisticated 1940's look to it, sooooo elegant! If I ever get married again, this is what I want to wear! IT'S ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! You're design is perfect for the Met Gala but too good for it! Your dress is far to elegant and sophisticated than that group of crazy people who prefer to wear the most bizarre from the runway!

Your Dress should be at the Met Gala “Gardens of time” along with the little cat. What a special dress, for a truly stunning lady.

To keep the bugs away from my garden dress. I would make a Tulle~English Cotton Umbrella. Using the same UV product. The English Cotton is much better and you can incorporate the design on to the English Cotton. Tulle is just not forgiving with designs. The Umbrella being a wonderful Accessory!

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is like losing a family member, and I know that deep sorrow. You honored her in the most gracious, thoughtful way ♡

Did you comment on the wrong video?

[@ArtWithDragons]

@@T-swizzle-fan13 no, look at the pinned comment. It says that his cat died.

[@MellowTime674]

Oh my gosh, this is so pretty! I'm so sorry for the loss of your cat, he/she is In a much better place now. RIP to them. ❤

That dress is so Amazingly Beautiful! Definitely Gala wort so unique.❤❤❤

[@azure52]

None of the dresses at the MET Gala can hold a candle to this dress! It's so stunning and delicate.😊

[@rubyrosemary1210]

That's the truth. I just watched a video with all the gowns and NONE compare to Gunnar's!

[@LayllasLocker]

Well, sand dress by Tyla is still my favorite. 😻 No matter how cool this dress is.

[@azure52]

@@LayllasLocker yes but it looked good because of the gorgeous Tyla herself. It wasn't wearable as she had to be carried up the stairs. They made it into a mini later

You're all sleeping on Elle Fanning and Mona Patel

@@LayllasLockergirl was wearing sandpaper(fabric)!? Damn! My sensitive skin would have straight up handed in their resignation right then and there.

[@BrightStarMorning]

That is The Most Beautiful and Creative Dress I’ve ever seen. Hats off to you.

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

I think this is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!! This idea of color changing fabric and the cricket stencil tool Officialhambly used to make some of her pieces. I love the finished gown with that train!💘

[@AditiChitnis]

That's so much more beautiful and creative than most met gala outfits... You deserve the opportunity to showcase this talent .

[@eebil_deemun]

You pretty much single handedly inspired me into pursuing a college course in fashion and dressmaking. I'm starting in August :)

[@Glamrockqueen]

Good luck. Maybe we will see your creations on youtube soon xx

[@mumlee0127]

Absolutely, unbelievably stunning. Add in the backstory of your kitty and flowers from her loved ones..I have no words.

[@HallowDragon39]

This is amazing! Lost my 22 year old kitty a bit ago, so I know how that feels. ❤ Either way though, this was absolutely beautiful and it was such a lovely idea to incorporate her into this

[@suzannerobinson6384]

Such a beautiful blend of sorrow and joy!

[@wheewillow1701]

I had to pause for paws and oh-- my heart. It sounds like your kitty had an amazing life, full of love and affection. And the dress is just breathtaking.

[@Eris_Mizelian]

Wow, this is absolutely stunning! No dress from the Met Gala even came to this level, I must say.

[@dramallama6811]

This absolutely deserved to be there! The best and most thoughtful design there. Bravo 👏🏻

[@shordykee]

oouuuu the actual floral pieces on it before being removed 😻😻 it's so gorgeous !!
