Pieris Fur, 2023

This collaboration was pure creative play! It all began with my fascination with the extreme eclecticism and maximalism of Joy's outfits in the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, which inspired the idea of creating an abundant floral boa for a fashion-styled photoshoot. I spent long hours considering the best botanical materials to work with and was delighted when the local seasonal Pieris came to mind! Using it en masse and stripping off the leaves instantly created the desired impact. This was my first experience working with such a large team, and it was incredibly valuable and enjoyable!
