Just in time for the holidays, Richard Chai’s one-of-a-kind EFFEN Vodka-inspired gown is being auctioned off! The dress, which has been worn by actress AnnaLynne McCord and supermodel Hilary Rhoda, is just the thing to make you (or someone you know) the best-dressed person at the holiday party. From now until December 21, Richard’s beautifully hand-pleated, sleeveless gown is being auctioned off with all proceeds going to DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS.
Often mentioned as one of the “new asian” influences in fashion, Korean-American Richard Chai is known for his youthful, modern minimalist approach to style. Richard drew inspiration from EFFEN Vodka¹s sleek and modern bottle design when creating this couture piece, which can be seen through softly flowing chiffon mixed with structured silk taffeta. The dress is hand pleated and uses a modern color scheme by layering shades of grey.
The creation of the dress is part of Richard¹s year-long partnership with EFFEN Vodka. Earlier this year, he also created the first ever traveling bar-lounge installation for DIFFA¹s Dining By Design Tour.
EFFEN Vodka is a super-premium vodka whose name means smooth, even and balanced in Dutch. It¹s made from 100% premium wheat and uses a continuous distillation process, resulting in a silky, smooth liquid that creates a clean, crisp taste on the palette. Design is at the heart of EFFEN, which is why the bottle is both visually appealing and functional with its unique, handcrafted, latex sleeve that allows for easy, non-slip handling and insulation to keep the liquid chilled.
