Look 3 captures a flower in motion, the seconds before a bloom decides it is time to rest. The skirt is an amalgamation of silk-blend organza petals, hand-dyed and hand-pressed. The corset, made by our atelier in Kenya, is made of breathable cotton, with precise corsetry and experienced tailoring. The hand-sewn beadings create an ombre of sunset colors, and the pearls are hand-polished with iridescent gloss that shimmers under the sun.
The precision it took to create this look was particularly challenging for our designer and tailors. However, the final show was worth it.

Look 3 was made with hand-stitched beads; the skirt is two layers, with one surrounding the body comfortably and the other holding the skirt petals together.
