[Haute couture] La Fille De Porcelaine Wedding Dress New Vintage Dress Handmade By Ankin

“I discovered a new term, "new vintage," which feels like it's tailor-made for me and my love for the Victorian era, Rococo period, and the Imperial era with their intricate and romantic clothing. Is there anyone else obsessed with these elaborate and romantic garments? ♥ This new "La fille de porcelaine" collection draws inspiration from the "mysterious Eastern culture" that European nobility admired in the 18th century. Featuring a dominant blue and white porcelain print layered with delicate silk organza, it creates a mysterious and romantic dream of an Eastern maiden.”

During this period, I not only visited QHANAOU Breaktime, the embossing studio owned by Master Yingzi, but also discovered lace made from handcrafted bones in a century-old French factory. Seeing these top-notch craftsmanship techniques that date back to the 14th century, most of which have been replaced by machinery (such as mass-produced lace on assembly lines), it's rare to find individuals who truly understand these crafts, and there's even a risk of their potential disappearance. Witnessing how the teachers tirelessly strive to bring more attention to this craft, I truly wish I could contribute in some way. Three years ago, I coincidentally came across the art of embossing, and since then, my designs have often incorporated its presence. One of my small hopes is to let more people know that embossing is not just decoration; it can serve as an accessory or even become an integral part of garments. It's a versatile artisan craft with limitless possibilities.

"From sketch to completion, from coordinating the colors and shapes of different flower patterns to the selection of materials for each petal, every detail is meticulously crafted." Each fabric flower is a testament to the skilled artisan's dedication to preserving a certain moment in time.
