Key points
- The gray Ashi Studio gown required more than 500 hours of craftsmanship.
- Multiple artisans contributed, handling lace, cords, and crocodile leather.
- Stylist Law Roach worked closely with the Paris atelier and Kardashian on the design.
- Kardashian’s look emphasized the dress, with minimal jewelry and a sleek ponytail.
Kim Kardashian stepped onto the New York City premiere of the second season of Ryan Murphy’s legal drama All’s Fair wearing a custom gray corset gown from Ashi Studio, a piece the fashion house says took more than 500 hours to complete.
The strapless silhouette combined a structured bodice with molded cups, a fitted waist and sheer panels, while thin cords draped from the sides of the bodice, looping around her arms and trailing down the skirt, and a matching crocodile‑leather collar framed her neck. A train extended the length of the gown.
A labor‑intensive masterpiece
Ashi Studio revealed on Instagram that the creation brought together multiple artisans – from the intricate corset construction and precise lace application to the careful arrangement of each cord and the meticulous work with crocodile leather. The design was first shown to Kardashian during a fitting in Los Angeles before being finalized at the house’s Paris atelier in close collaboration with her stylist Law Roach.
Kardashian kept her accessories minimal, opting for diamond stud earrings and a diamond ring. Her dark hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail with two loose strands framing her face, and she completed the look with smoky eye makeup and a pale‑pink lip.
Design details and materials
The premiere also featured co‑stars Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash‑Betts and Glenn Close. The second season of All’s Fair is set to debut on Hulu on November 4.
The extensive labor behind the gown underscores a growing trend of ultra‑customized couture for high‑profile red‑carpet events, where designers and stylists coordinate across continents to deliver singular statements.
