The designer explained the inspiration and the pyrotechnical mechanisms behind the look to Page Six. “The coat is leather and the sleeves and train are wrapped in stretched steel wool that is typically used by carpenters and mechanics,” Macer said.
“When the pieces burn, the steel wool disintegrates and exposes the undergarment in the process. But it burns at a low temperature making it possible to have in close proximity to the body,” he continued.
Macer who is a Central Saint Martins alum, 21, also mentioned that, that the flames can fly more than once on the physical coat itself. "The pieces can be burned multiple times because of the sleeve covers and linings," he explained. Every item would still “require re-wrapping of the steel wool between each burning,” he added. Spanish pop star Rosalía was also spotted donning the smoldering overcoat in March.
Fox has often been labeled as a fashion icon, especially after her relationship with rapper Kanye West made headlines in early 2022. She even opened up about her relationship with Ye on her Spotify podcast 'Forbidden Fruits'. "I'm just livin' my f**kin' life," she said to co-host Niki Takesh.
"I don't have any expectations, there are no labels," Fox continued, adding, "It's just people that make each other feel better. It's such a Gemini-Aquarius connection. Our minds work very fast, we keep up with each other." She had described being in the studio with Ye and Future as "f**king amazing" and called her new partner "a genius." On February 14, 2022, Fox confirmed the rumors of a break-up with West on her Instagram story stating that she has "love for [Kanye] but wasn't in love with the man."
