NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, June 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nashville-based fashion brand Tess Mann Atelier is honored to announce that its signature Felicity gown was worn by acclaimed singer and actress Chrystabell at the prestigious Tribute to David Lynch and Cerrone during the Cannes Film Festival. The golden iteration of the sculptural masterpiece provided an elegant tribute fitting for the emotional ceremony honoring the late visionary filmmaker.

The Felicity gown serves as a reflection of Tess Mann Atelier's commitment to high-dressmaking evening wear, featuring asymmetrical sophistication with strategic peek-a-boo détailing that creates an illusion of ethereal movement. Hand-crafted silk florals in varying textures cascade from shoulder to hem, reflecting the couture tradition of wearable art.

"Seeing Chrystabell honor her longtime collaborator David Lynch while wearing our Felicity gown was deeply moving," said Tess Mann, Founder and Creative Director of Tess Mann Atelier. "The emotional weight of the tribute, combined with the architectural beauty of the garment, created a moment of pure artistry that would have resonated with Lynch's own appreciation for the intersection of beauty and emotion."

Chrystabell, who collaborated with Lynch on three albums including “This Train” (2011), “Somewhere in the Nowhere” (2016), and “Cellophane Memories” (2024), and appeared as Special Agent Tammy Preston in Lynch's “Twin Peaks: The Return,” was among the distinguished guests honoring the filmmaker's legacy at the Cannes ceremony, where the documentary “Welcome to Lynchland” had its world premiere.

- Two-piece construction with one-shoulder design
