**Indio, CA** – Blackpink member Lisa captivated Coachella audiences Friday with two breathtaking, technologically advanced costumes designed by Asher Levine, a pioneer in “creature couture.” The first, a dramatic reveal, saw Lisa emerge from a giant puffer coat to unveil a custom 3D-printed reptilian bodysuit, complete with intricately crafted scales.
Levine, known for his work with artists like Lady Gaga and Doja Cat, created both outfits in less than a month. The reptile suit, described as “very creature couture,” involved a body scan of Lisa to ensure a perfect fit, followed by the creation of a unique geometric scale print using AI. Each individual scale was painstakingly handcrafted, taking 50-60 hours each to create. Levine emphasized his commitment to cruelty-free fashion, stating, “We don’t have to kill animals anymore. We can evolve beyond that.”
Lisa’s second outfit was equally striking: an ethereal sheer catsuit adorned with glowing, 3D-printed blue and pink tendrils inspired by bioluminescent insects and fungi. The tendrils featured fiber optic lights, showcasing Levine’s decade-long experience with embedded illumination in clothing. He highlighted the material’s unique properties: “This is the future that Blade Runner predicted,” he said, demonstrating a petal-like element that bent like leather but looked like glass.
Creating these performance-ready pieces presented unique challenges, requiring Levine to build outfits that allow for high energy movement. He compared the process to designing for a sports athlete, ensuring freedom of movement alongside striking visuals. Levine’s designs clearly appeal to artists pushing creative and stylistic boundaries, reinforcing his brand’s identity as avant-garde and exclusive.
