ANDREW KWON Dresses Maura Higgins for the Cannes Film Festival in France
This evening, at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Maura Higgins arrived in an ANDREW KWON gown, marking a striking red carpet moment for the television personality and media figure at one of the world’s most celebrated gatherings of cinema, fashion, and culture.
The look, from ANDREW KWON’s fifth collection, Aurora, was realized in sculpted black double-face duchesse satin, created in an elongated off-the-shoulder silhouette that balanced architectural structure with dramatic elegance. A sharply contoured ivory neckline framed the décolletage before giving way to a clean, elongated column gown, while exaggerated sculptural sleeves in black silk taffeta unfolded into sweeping volume and movement. The look creates a striking interplay of restraint, glamour, and modern femininity.
Designed and crafted within the ANDREW KWON atelier in New York City, the piece reflects the house’s signature interplay between couture precision and fluid sensuality, where sculptural construction meets timeless glamour.
