Peonies for Paris
Peonies for Paris is my own artistic reaction to the bombings that happened recently in Paris, as well as the similar violence in other countries. The peony flower is a symbol of peace, healing, and compassion. I was inspired by this flower that perfectly depicts the hope that I, and many others, have for these communities, as well as the beauty of the Eiffel Tower and Paris in general. My draped pattern pieces were digitized through Optitex and placed into Adobe Illustrator, filled with my designs, and printed on satin by Spoonflower. I then constructed the gown. Peonies for Paris also includes a full collection of gown designs. To view my engineered textile, select the Engineered Textiles button on the Home page.
