Starlet in Stitches features Hollywood legend Lana Turner in a moment of effortless poise—reimagined with a bold, modern textile twist. Her classic sailor-inspired swimsuit is hand-embroidered with candy-stripe red thread and delicate beaded accents, and her vintage swim cap is redefined in vivid hot pink.

This mixed media piece elevates a black-and-white press image into a radiant, tactile portrait that honors femininity, glamour, and the radical act of handcraft. The piece offers both tribute and transformation—inviting viewers to see mid-century beauty through a contemporary, feminist lens.

Perfect for lovers of Old Hollywood, fashion history, or statement fiber art, this one-of-a-kind work brings sparkle and strength to any wall.
