Annabelle Kajbaf on Hollywood, Sustainable Fashion, and Contemporary Luxury
Annabelle Kajbaf, a discerning voice in sustainable fashion journalism, attended the 2025 Emmys. With an approach that transcends spectacle, Annabelle only wore conscious designers known for their production ethics and craftsmanship. Her choices reflect a nuanced interrogation of luxury’s future, balancing aesthetic rigor with critical awareness. Kajbaf speaks about her intentions, the evening’s experience, and the evolving landscape of fashion.
A Gown That Redefines Red Carpet Glamour
For the Emmys red carpet, her gown by Kiki Wang became more than an ensemble—it was a statement. Composed of upcycled textiles and adorned with sculptural roses sourced from another ethical atelier, the piece embodied her view of fashion as a medium for reinvention and material stewardship. The roses themselves carried a story: they had been repurposed from a former gown in Wang’s collection.
Known for her striking red creations—seen on runways and red carpets around the world—Wang’s work blends artistry with wearability. Their collaboration felt fated. The two first met years earlier and reconnected recently on a Hollywood red carpet. “She instantly offered to dress me for this special occasion,” she recalls. “And I love that I matched with the poppies and orange flower poppies that night.”
