Ms Spielmann designed and made her pant suit based on a 1970s Yves Saint Laurent safari suit. She said the outfit took about two weeks to make, the most difficult piece being the collar. “The very last thing, the collar, took about 10 hours because I had to take it off and redo it as it wasn’t working,” she said.
