Oriental - red lanterns, tassles, cheongsams with high slits, red, more red, phoenix, dragons, brocade, embroidery. These come to my mind when I think oriental. When it comes to accessories, jade, coral, gold, cloisonne comes to mind. So with this I embark on a little oriental journey & made them light hearted with a mix of flowers(which i acquired earlier on my accessories journey but cannot bear to use them) & a whole lot of small delicate beads. Oriental they may not really be but colourful & detailed they are. In every piece would be a cloisonne/enamel piece which features flowers, butterflies or both.
I leave you with some pictures...

here!
BUT coz of the detailed & intricate work on each design, there would be no replicas. Similar pieces with a twist is do-able but probably not exact copies.
This collection is inspired by all the flowers from
Magpie & the wardrobe(by Sam McKechnie) for Topshop
&
this piece by Erickson Beamon.
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!! :)
