Shakira's turquoise outfit for this year's World Cup performance of the official song 'Waka Waka' was designed by Ghana's D'etherez and his Miami-based team. The outfit, which has garnered significant attention, was created in a rush over four days. The design process involved intricate handwork, including crochet and beadwork, under the creative direction of Shakira's long-time stylist, Nicolas Bru. The outfit was made in a temporary workshop set up in a hotel room, with materials sourced urgently from various parts of the city.
Design and Craftsmanship
The turquoise dress combined fashion, artistry, and sustainable design. It featured jade green and blue shades, with meticulous attention to detail. The skirt's fringe was designed to move fluidly with Shakira's dance moves. The belt was handmade with crochet artistry and turquoise beads on leather, a skill D'etherez honed during his school years.
