A Brush Stroke, A Needle Stitch is a painting inspired collection f that was inspired by Taiwanese artist: James Jean. I wanted to interpret his artistic style into fashion and capture the spirit of his work while still having bits of myself in it. This includes pieces that have a custom fabric that was printed on sight at Dominican University from one of his iconic paintings. The embroidered flowers, decorative stitching, and fabric manipulations not only stay true to his paintings but also add a theatrical element. This fits into my future career goal to become a Costume Designer for theater and film.
