POPSUGAR: How did you settle on this spring 2021 Rodarte dress for Selena?
Shirley Kurata: When I read the treatment for the video, the first thought for me was that Rodarte would be perfect for this, but [video directors] Los Perez coincidentally had images of Rodarte looks in their mood board. I had just styled the photo shoot for Rodarte's SS21 collection (see above) with stylist Ashley Furnival, so I was familiar with the whole collection. We also needed a dress that would feature the Milagro heart in a cohesive and beautiful way, and would reflect what Selena wanted to express in the video. The heart was designed by the production designer, Fernanda Guerrero, who worked together with Mexican craftsman Alfonso Camara, who made the piece.
"[Pink] is a color that is often tied to the heart, which was the theme of the video — the healing heart."
PS: Is there a significance to choosing the color pink for Selena's look?
SK: Los Perez had initially sent me a treatment and mood board, and they felt pink would be a color that would work best with the set decor and lighting. It is a color that is often tied to the heart, which was the theme of the video — the healing heart. With COVID and political unrest in our world, the message of healing and growth that Selena wanted to convey is indeed an important message.
