Lucy Liu in custom ANDREW KWON for the premiere of Warner Bros.’ “Shazam! Fury Of The Gods” in Los Angeles, styled by Sarah Slutsky. 

Lucy has been one of my biggest inspirations growing up. I’ve always been an admirer of Hollywood, but to be honest — there weren’t many people that looked like me on the big screen. Lucy was one of the few that did and she always emulated the most golden energy. She’s always used her voice and talent in the most powerful ways and it’s been inspiring to watch, and these are the women I dreamt of dressing. There couldn’t have been a better or more perfect moment than this moment in creating my first couture custom for Lucy. 

Mythology and goddesses have always been a central theme to my designs. And I always create an ethereal story through my designs but of course in today’s modern world. So this all felt so serendipitous. 

I’m so proud and honored to be able to dress someone that’s been a muse to me for so many years. 

Thank you Lucy for supporting me, being an inspiring muse in my life, and making a dream of mine come true. Thank you Sarah Slutsky for your immense support, believing in me, and for helping to create and style this red carpet dream into an ethereal reality. And one last thank you to all the incredible talented teams that helped bring this moment to life! 

Cheers to more manifested moments like this 🥂💫.
