| Flora as Fashion: Loryn Molina |
Fashion has always taken a cue from nature. Organic forms lend themselves to the artist's eye and can become a starting point for design and inspiration. Mimicking the curvature of natural flora, this piece today slowly emerged from the background. I didn't see the cloak at first but after studying the image for several days, it suddenly presented itself and I was quickly inspired to craft this lovely garment.
Symbolically, cloaks are mysterious. They hold intrigue and help disguise its owner. It is a blanket of protection from physical elements and spiritual harm. With this in the back of my mind, I chose a darker palate to accentuate this feeling and I am delighted with the results.
