The inspiration behind this renowned design can be traced back to Cowan’s childhood fascination with astronomy, instilled in him by his father. Drawing parallels between the boundless creativity of the night sky and the artistic freedom he finds in fashion design, Cowan infuses his work with a sense of wonder and imagination. Beyond its sentimental significance, the starry dress offers a sensory experience, emitting a delightful noise when worn and reflecting light in mesmerizing ways.
Premiering during his debut runway show at New York Fashion Week in 2017, the star-studded creation quickly became synonymous with Cowan’s brand. He enlisted the support of Paris Hilton, renowned for her glamorous persona, to showcase the dress, adding to its allure. Since then, the dress has undergone various transformations while maintaining its original charm and appeal.
Cowan is now venturing into new territory by incorporating Adobe Primrose technology into his latest collection.
This innovative approach allows the dress to display animated patterns and change colours with the simple push of a button, representing a significant leap forward in its design evolution. Despite initial reservations about collaborations with tech companies, Cowan was captivated by Adobe’s Primrose design, discovered during his social media browsing.
Looking ahead, Cowan envisions his groundbreaking creation being embraced by influential celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Doja Cat, known for their bold fashion statements.
Additionally, he sees his dress complementing the unique styles of unconventional icons like Tilda Swinton and the legendary Dolly Parton, highlighting its versatility and broad appeal.
