Forest Fable is a bespoke gown designed for a gala, blending natural textures with high-fashion tailoring. I hand-dyed recycled silks to mimic the dappled light of an ancient woodland to create a whimsical atmosphere.

Crafted over sixty hours, this piece demonstrates my commitment to blending storytelling with elegance.
