*my latest designs...old whiskey in a new bottle

my friend from Belgium bought one of blouses collection
for her niece...Hmong embroideries is very simiar to folk art of East Europe







I always say there is nothing totally new in this world...when people get inspiration from others and incorporate it into their own style, it becomes a new interpretation.
And trends such as in fashion nowadays have a tendency to return after a ten years cycle...
This set of designs is inspired by colorful hand embroideries i found at a local hill tribe market... it's surprisingly similar to the embroidery styles i've seen in Mexico or Guatemala... the way indigenous people dress, even on different sides of the world... they share the same aesthetic taste.
The world becomes smaller when you can have a similar look to those of different ethnicity and culture.
