"Julie Dash [wore] 'Circe's Circle,' by Tess Sholom - a show-stopping necklace featuring three faceted amethysts, 60 tcw, handset in ethically sourced, 22-karat gold circles. Dash proudly wore other Sholom one-of-a-kinds, since the designer embodies female empowerment inspired by ancient Greek history in her modern art jewelry. David F. Zambrana, Manhattan-based Costume Designer and Fashion Stylist, agrees. "When approaching any project, fashioning a client's persona is as important as their fitting. Connecting theatric costuming and current style to an individual's essence is my mantra. Tess Sholom's 22-karat gold jewelry is a rare balance of ancient and modern wearable art, and an ideal dramatic accessory for Julie Dash at this event," Zambrana noted. ... "In Greek mythology, Circe was a magical enchantress, and there's magic in gold jewelry too. Amethysts are a highly transformable crystal, thought to change chaos to harmony and challenges to victories. What an honor for 'Circe's Circle' to be worn by Julie Dash, who herself emulates these very characteristics." (x)

vs. Bad Bunny (Burberry), right

"“I researched what was going on during the Gilded Age in my country, in Puerto Rico,” says Bad Bunny. He and Tisci ended up referencing images from his country during the era, in which women wore puffed collars and men tailored suits. “We mixed the men’s looks with women’s [for my look,]” says Bunny. The custom ensemble resulted in a classic blue collared shirt and black tie, worn underneath a tan puff-sleeve jacket and skirt—which attached to create the illusion of a one-piece. “We’ve done the skirt a million times, but the dress is a new thing for us, which was cool,” says Storm Pablo, Bunny’s stylist." "He says that when he heard the theme, he thought he’d wear something inspired by Latin America. “Because it’s America too.”" (x)(x)

The real history, the history that most people will remember and believe in, is what they see on the silver screen.
