Lam also unveiled a couture, full-length gown made of her signature metal lace weighing more than 70 pounds, encrusted with cherry blossoms over more than 100,000 Swarovski crystals. The gown will serve as a new interactive design and fundraising component at the Pink Tie Party on March 16, where attendees will be able to buy replicas of pieces of the dress to raise money for the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Here, National Cherry Blossom Festival executive director Diana Mayhew (wearing a Mindy Lam-made cherry blossoms pin) is flanked by festival committee members Assata Lee, John Sibley and Andrea Coffee.
