Irina Shayk represented Air in a crystal mesh couture gown that took 200 hours to create. The form fitting look created the illusion of light skimming her body, evoking the fluid movement and ethereal nature of the element. The model’s brilliance was intensified with a bespoke Millenia choker and ear cuffs, and layers of Hyperbola and Millenia bracelets, all in luminous clear crystal.
