Whimsical herringbones
Summer 2023, I had the privilege of collaborating with Gilles Mendel on his daughter’s wedding gown, the inaugural piece for his House of Gilles couture collection. For this project, I was assigned to design the hand embroidery and led the team, ensuring a seamless execution of the VIP’s wedding gown, celebrating her marriage to Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins.
This NYC-crafted gown featured hand embroidery that seamlessly blends traditional intricate techniques with contemporary artwork, ensuring the highest standards for the bride, reflecting both heritage and modernity. This project has led to an ongoing collaboration with House of Gilles, showcasing the fusion of expert embroidery, artistic vision, and meticulous craftsmanship in unique, handmade luxury pieces.
