Clair Danes has announced that her wedding dress would be designed by her close friend and an outstanding designer, Narciso Rodriguez. The two have been friends for a long time already.
The actress appeared at the CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday night at Alice Tully Hall in New York on the arm of Rodriguez, saying that as a date, she finds him “very cheeky and playful and funny, kind and dear . . . one of my dear friends. Any excuse to hang out with him is welcome,” she said.
Rodriguez agreed to make a wedding gown for Clair and she feels really happy and excited about it.
He’s making it. I get weepy. .. more emotional than I was expecting,” she confessed. “It’s intimate.”
When asked whether it is easy working with a friend Danes replied:
It’s amazing. I’m so privileged. I’m collaborating a little bit, but I’m just trusting him implicitly. I’m offing my ideas, but they always pale in comparison to his.”
All we know about the dress itself is that it is going to be white.
Narciso said Clair is easy to design for:
She’s an extraordinary woman inside and out. That always comes through. You can’t hide it. I just try to make her look more beautiful,” he said. “And it’s not hard to make her look beautiful.”
Narciso Rodriguez has lots of experience dressing beautiful women. He designed Caroline Bessette Kennedy’s dress for her 1996 wedding to John F. Kennedy Jr., Michelle Obama’s attire as she made her first appearance as the wife of President-Elect Barack Obama. His other clients are: Sarah Jessica Parker, Salma Hayek, and Rachel Weisz.
