‘This show really is about the return to glamour,’ the 36-year-old fashion designer told the Associated Press on Wednesday.
‘I really wanted that. My customers are really looking for that, especially now. They were trapped for so long. It’s like, what can I wear that’s the most extravagant, fabulous thing?’

‘She was everything I wanted growing up. She was it. Janet and Madonna were big on my bucket list and I got to make them some things.’
Janet sat beside the Maryland-born tastemaker at a long dining table during the after-party reception.
Jackson – who’s sold over 100M records – recently gave fans an update on the status of her long-delayed 12th studio album, Black Diamond.

‘It’s so funny because I see the fans asking, “When are we going to get Black Diamond? Will you please release?”‘ the Oscar-nominated songwriter told Essence in June.
‘Sometimes things happen that you don’t expect to happen, and you have to figure things out – or you’re in a space in your life when you have to take a step back and take a break for a minute. Even though it’s something that I absolutely love, it still is my work, my job.
‘There will be music at some point. Exactly when? I can’t say just yet, but there will be. I love it too much not to do it. This is all I know. There’s so much that I want to do – but my number one job is being a mama.’
Janet was referring to her five-year-old son Eissa from her five-year marriage to third husband – Qatari billionare Wissam Al Mana – which ended in 2017.
