I made a dress for Chappell Roan for SNL 😭

Making a look for Chappell Roan for SNL ! ( the full video is live on my patreon!) It feels so surreal to be releasing this garment! It was an incredible labor of love, and it took a full month of 18 hour days to make it happen! First and foremost, I have to thank Genesis Webb for trusting me with this incredible vision, and sculpting it to perfection with me! Secondly, my partner @ChristopherMinafo who not only pushed me to keep going, but made one of the coolest headpieces l've ever seen! And my friend Katie Mamie for hand stitching for HOURS with us! I love you both dearly!
I cannot begin to tell you what it means to me as an artist to have my work featured on someone as incredible as Chappell and on such a large stage. Thankful doesn't begin to cover what l'm feeling.

"And because he's incredibly talented with literally everything he touches-" what a beautiful way to talk about your partner, oh my god

I LOVE her comment at the end and it showed she's very proud to wear your amazing creation. Sweet!

I'm so happy you are getting your flowers for these designs. Chappell must be such a rare dream client for a designer.... game for anything, willing to wear your most creative designs. It's just so fun!

This is LITERALLY one of the most beautiful costume pieces I’ve ever seen

I saw the SNL clip a while ago, I had no idea you designed it. I just wanna say, you have reached your absolute peak as a designer if you are able to make a design Chappel Roan worthy.

Amazing! You and Christopher are both so talented. You just click as you eat, sleep (what little there is!) and dream how to create such a individualized look.
May I add, it is so lovely to hear you say such kind things about your partner. 💕

The moment I saw Chappel‘s dress I immediately knew it was your work, by the imaginative design and overall beauty of the peace screams Gunnar, been watching you for a couple years now so proud of you and happy to see you are succeeding and dressing some of my favorite people!!

Chappelle needs to exclusively wear your stuff because everything you've ever done for her are my absolute favorites 😭

[MatthewWithAnM-sl]

I have watched your videos for a long time, and this may sound weird from a stranger, but im so proud of you. You deserve to have your designs seen on a grand scale like this. You have MADE IT and you earned it through blood sweat and tears. The sky is the limit for you.

OMG so cool that you got to work with her and have your dress showcased on such a large platform! Congratulations! Well deserved because you really pay attention to every detail and put so much love and thought into it it seems not to mention hundreds of hours!!

IM A BESPOKE TAILOR of men's historical suits 1890 - 1940. It takes me 150 - 250 hours to hand craft a 3 piece suite. 500 hours is just astonishing

I just know he’s a god at dress to impress
