"Those days of a gown being packed away and forgotten about for many years and rediscovered are sadly gone. Now, often when a gown is worn on the red carpet, there is usually a plan put in place for where that gown will end up."
"Nicole Kidman's 1997 Oscars dress – a chartreuse number from Galliano – was a piece that changed the trajectory of red-carpet dressing and marked the beginning of brands very publicly partnering with a celebrity and sort of officially dressing them for the red carpet."
"Most of the time it gets returned and is stored in the designer's archives. It's like Cinderella, you wear it to the ball, and at midnight it has to go back."
"The gowns undergo cleaning, since the person who donned the garment might have on body lotions, oils, perfumes, makeup. ...even if you don't see that right away...over time, these materials and stains can actually start to damage the garment."
