Narratively, the boy's character is the antithesis of heaven; however, as a callback, the breastplate—traditionally used as armor— was beaded in the same way the first look was. The breastplate is physically the heaviest of the pieces. Two identical hand-beaded panels are attached by leather straps and metallic clasps from around the shoulders and around the torso.
The breastplate acts as something that pushes down on the wounded shirt; it appears as armor; however, on a wounded body, it does not serve to protect but to conceal. The dress pants were made in America; they were laser-cut with hand-stitched lace in between two layers of breathable cotton and unrelenting nylon overlay.
Lastly, the amalgamation of hair-like strands was hand-made with 3D print pens and a mixture of standard and silk PLA. The atelier started from a single 3D strand and, over the course of several months, continued to add on. The designer created her own textile language with this piece; she used certain 3D print pens and specific PLA for the vertical line base, then utilized a different pen and silk PLA to travel and wrap around the body. She then finished with hand-stitching around the weaker areas and movement points from shoulder to back to side.
