This dress features Oriental motifs such as the butterfly, the tiger, and waves. Ever since Mori entered the overseas market, she has continued to integrate Japanese and Oriental elements into her garments, and this work is one example. It incorporates both decorative and dramatic elements which combine to create a strong visual impact.
