Why it is renowned
The dress was the black leather gown Julia Fox wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March 2022, its halter neck shaped as a hand around the throat.1 The "grip dress" made headlines across the fashion press.1
The story
The dress was part of Han Kjøbenhavn's Spring-Summer 2022 collection.1 Its hand began as a bag made with the ceramic artist Naomi Gilon, which Jannik Wikkelsø Davidsen then reworked into the dress.2 A made-to-measure version was fashioned for Julia Fox at her stylist's request, about eight months before the Oscars.1
