Kun Qian, BA Fashion Print, Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum Project Sketchbook

When Balenciaga meets Miao. The inspiration of this loose dress coat’s silhouette, as well as the embroidered apron, is based on Miao nationality traditional costumes. The prints and embellishments come from a Miao tradition of butterfly patterns which represent the origin of universe. The velvet trimming embroidery which covers the big collar is inspired by Balenciaga design elements.
