I purchased the fortuny inspired fabric in Korea on a business trip. The dress design came to me when I draped the fabric over a dress form and let my imagination go.
I was on a business trip in Korea when I was surprised to come across fortuny inspired satin. I never quite knew what to do with it, until I found an old beaded jacket at a goodwill store that was falling apart and inspiration hit me. With the help of my dress form, I created this one shoulder design by draping the fabric on the bias and finishing the neck and armhole with the recycled beading.
The purse design came from a threads magazine and a plethora of scraps from my mom’s house. The shawl is created from silk chiffon and satin, with trim from the recycled jacket.
This is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL array of designs! The fabric is great and the purse is stunning!
This is beautiful. Love your design style.
Absolutely gorgeous, and excellent recycling! Congrats!!
