Coetzee posted a video showing the concept of the dress, the process of making it, how it is handmade and the final result.

“The dress is made from vintage beaded silk that has been in my archives for years and this was the perfect opportunity to use it.
“It’s completely embellished with Zulu beads mixed with pearls and crystals all in a delicious toffee color that really just plays with its own texture.
“I let the dress splash into a train of beautiful South African ostrich feathers mixed with rooster feathers in blue. So it’s a beautiful juxtaposition between caramel brown and sparkling blue to bring this whole look together.
