PLATINUM COATED COLLECTION by RANDAL STEPHEN


PLATINUM COATED COLLECTION INSPIRATION


“Know you want to fill the room cause it’s platinum coated”, inspired by the Lil Kim lyric, I wanted to create a monochromatic platinum 1950’s inspired set that captured all the opulence and decadence of that time. I wanted to give the clothes the modern appeal with dazzling sexy silhouettes and looks reminiscent of the period all dipped in platinum.
