Back in 2014, Charli xcx\u2019s global megahit \u201cBoom Clap\u201d had an absolute stranglehold on the international airwaves, dominating radio stations, television music channels, and playlists worldwide. Now, over a decade later in 2026, the track has achieved a completely new cultural milestone: genuine internet meme status. Audiences across the globe have spent countless hours viewing and sharing the viral video featuring its iconic, theatrical call-and-response sequence. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou are the light and I will follow,\u201d croons Charli in her signature, unmistakable warble, before the camera pans to a youthful Taylor Swift who belts back, \u201cYou let me lose my shadow.\u201d That unforgettable moment originally took place live on stage during Swift\u2019s blockbuster 1989 World Tour back in 2015, a trek on which Charli xcx served as the opening act. Chappell Roan almost certainly had that exact piece of pop culture history lodged firmly in her mind when she stepped out as a surprise guest artist alongside Charli during her Music, Fashion, Film Tour this week. Leaning fully into the nostalgic revelry, Roan playfully refused to sing any other track, locking in on \u201cBoom Clap\u201d as their shared anthem of the night.<\/p>\n

While Charli and Roan were busy engineering a brilliant 2026 update to a legendary meme\u2014footage that was instantly captured, clipped, and shared endlessly across TikTok, Instagram, and X\u2014fashion observers couldn\u2019t help but notice that Roan had undergone a striking style evolution of her own. Clearly drawing inspiration from the gritty, high-octane rocker aesthetic that defines Charli\u2019s latest era of music, Roan hit the stage wearing a heavily customized, slashed-up black leather top. The garment was completely covered in utilitarian grommets and ruggedly hemmed together with thick laces, creating an aggressive yet meticulously tailored silhouette. It soon came to light that Roan and her stylist, Hunter Clem, had tapped rising independent designer Eden Sherry to bring the vision to life, a high-stakes commission that the studio turned around in a single, breathless day.<\/p>\n

For Sherry, whose career is rapidly ascending the ranks of contemporary fashion, outfitting one of pop music\u2019s biggest names on a massive stage is a surreal full-circle moment. After graduating from the prestigious London College of Fashion in 2024, Sherry established her professional base in London, though her roots span across the globe\u2014having been born in New Zealand and raised in Hong Kong. Growing up, Sherry harbored an intense obsession with music videos, recalling how Lady Gaga\u2019s cinematic visual for \u201cBad Romance\u201d was kept on a constant loop on YouTube. Witnessing the boundary-pushing musician perform live in 2011 introduced a young Sherry to an entirely new world of fashion and theatrical expression. Today, that childhood fascination has manifested into a thriving career outfitting some of the world’s most defining pop stars at the absolute height of their cultural influence. <\/p>\n

Reflecting on the whirlwind collaboration, Sherry shares the behind-the-scenes story of how the custom look materialized so rapidly for the stage. When Chappell\u2019s stylist, Hunter Clem, reached out to the studio to request some exploratory pieces, Sherry\u2019s team happened to have just finished their new Folded Belt Set. Recognizing an immediate synergy, the styling team deduced that the aesthetic would serve as the ultimate pairing for Chappell\u2019s high-energy performance alongside Charli xcx. The timing couldn’t have been more fortuitous, and Sherry expresses immense gratitude for the styling team’s ongoing support of independent design talent.<\/p>\n

When detailing the creative inspiration behind the stage look, Sherry points to a fascination with capturing fleeting bursts of kinetic energy and freezing them in time within a garment. The core concept for the top was designed to stand as a literal silhouette of "toppling belts," appearing to cascade downward over the body before being anchored and structured by intricate section lacing. This complex construction successfully creates a moving architectural structure that remains physically still yet visually fluid. To complete the stage ensemble, the look was paired with bikini bottoms drawn straight from Sherry\u2019s main summer line, engineered specifically to withstand the grueling demands of a day-long rave.<\/p>\n

The physical execution of the garment was a race against the clock. Designing, patterning, and testing the complex structure took place over a couple of days, while the final construction of the top was executed in a single day. Given the heavy emphasis on hand-set eyelets and meticulous lacing, the process demands an immense amount of labor and technical precision. Sherry credits this intense output to a close-knit studio environment, working hand-in-hand with a trusted assistant, Eugene Escurin Lopez, to handcraft every single piece locally in their London studio.<\/p>\n

Working with an artist of Chappell Roan\u2019s magnitude carries profound personal significance for the designer. Sherry notes that Roan has successfully constructed an entire cultural universe built entirely around unbridled self-expression and radical individuality\u2014ideals that the designer deeply believes in. For Sherry, Roan serves as an essential role model for authentic self-expression, championing a philosophy of not taking oneself too seriously while simultaneously standing firmly for core beliefs and values.<\/p>\n

This ethos of bold individuality heavily influences Sherry\u2019s choice of materials, particularly a dedicated obsession with leather. Drawn to its incredible versatility, Sherry delights in the endless ways the material can be manipulated, distressed, and transformed into playful, unconventional garments. Notably, the brand works exclusively with deadstock leather sourced directly from around London. These materials often feature subtle patina differences and unique historical wear that imbue every finished garment with its own distinct character, ensuring no two pieces are ever entirely identical.<\/p>\n

When looking toward the broader fashion landscape, Sherry draws continuous inspiration not only from historical icons but also from peers within the contemporary design community. The designer credits close friend and collaborator Leo Prothmann as a constant source of professional motivation, particularly for his tireless work in uplifting important, marginalized voices that are frequently denied a mainstream platform. And, paying homage to design royalty, Sherry admits a lifelong allegiance to the enduring influence of Alexander McQueen, proudly declaring a permanent spot in the "McQueen girlie" camp.<\/p>\n

Sherry\u2019s journey in the fashion industry began in earnest following graduation, where the focus remained on crafting bespoke clothing for independent artists on a commission basis. Following an acclaimed award win in Portugal, the label was officially launched as an independent brand in 2025. Rather than designing for a specific, rigid muse, Sherry crafts garments with a singular demographic in mind: anyone who genuinely knows how to have a good time. Every piece is intentionally engineered to possess the durability required for heavy nights out, designed to literally come alive as the wearer moves, sweats, and dances.<\/p>\n

While outfitting Chappell Roan marks a massive milestone, Sherry\u2019s portfolio already boasts breathtaking moments of viral success. Among the biggest professional achievements to date, the designer recalls the surreal experience of waking up last year to find global icon FKA twigs wearing a signature bag top on the cover of Rolling Stone. Looking forward, the dream client roster remains expansive, with Sherry expressing a strong desire to eventually dress avant-pop visionary Caroline Polachek and, naturally, Charli xcx\u2014potentially even collaborating on a joint styling project.<\/p>\n

As for the ultimate trajectory of the brand, the focus remains firmly rooted in the pulse of nightlife culture. The studio is currently deep into planning its inaugural live fashion presentation slated for next summer, all while juggling an influx of high-profile custom requests and laying the groundwork for continued international growth across Europe and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
