The fashion statement of Natalia Bryant was evident in her appearance. Sustainable fashion has been a popular buzzword in 2021, primarily as designers and luxury fashion labels scramble to produce clothes with less environmental impact. Overconsumption and excessive shopping habits are cited as criticisms of fast fashion. At the Met Gala 2021, Natalia Bryant, daughter of the late basketball star Kobe Bryant, wore an entirely upcycled dress. In an Instagram post, Conner Ives shared a picture of her in an exciting silhouette. It was the epitome of Haute couture-made sustainable — recycled PET plastic floral sequin gown. This dress was the final piece of Ives’ A / W 2021 collection titled “The American Dream.” While she chose emeralds for her bling, she wore flattering make-up with gold and bronze hints. Eves explained the process behind the creation of the dress.

Anna Wintour personally selected the dress; it was styled by Law Roach, a celebrity stylist. It took the young designer almost two years to finish the dress. A heartfelt note of gratitude accompanied his Instagram post.” The biggest thank you goes out to Natalia and the entire Bryant family. One of the kindest people I have had the pleasure of working with. You wore this dress so elegantly and all I can say is what a debut. I feel so humbled to have been given this moment. Natalia; you have such a bright future ahead of you. I can’t wait to see what you do next.”In conclusion, he said,” I am just taking this moment in. I feel so happy that I get to achieve these career milestones with such supportive, lovely people. Thank you for all the kind messages I am just taking this all in. I am so humbled.”
