Season 11

GlossaryLive celebrates the 2024 Met Gala ball's display of iconic fashion throughout history. In this episode, Alisha Rimando creates a nail design inspired by Alexander McQueen's infamous clam dress from his spring/summer 2001 collection. In McQueen's words, “My friend George and I were walking on the beach in Norfolk, and there were thousands of `{`razor-clam`}` shells. They were so beautiful, I thought I had to do something with them. So, we decided to make `{`a dress`}` out of them. . . . The shells had outlived their usefulness on the beach, so we put them to another use on a dress. Then Erin `{`O’Conner`}` came out and trashed the dress, so their usefulness was over once again. Kind of like fashion, really.”
