Under Her Parasol — Hand-Embroidered Vintage Fashion Portrait

Description

A playful collision of fashion history, color, and dimensional embroidery.

This one-of-a-kind textile artwork transforms a vintage black-and-white fashion photograph through bold hand stitching. The woman’s printed dress is covered with intricate pink floral motifs, while an extravagant cloud of brilliant blue textured embroidery emerges beneath her parasol.

The original photograph captures the carefully composed femininity of mid-century fashion imagery, but the embroidery deliberately disrupts it. Thread spills beyond the photograph’s details, exaggerating the silhouette and turning a polished fashion image into something tactile, strange, and entirely new.

The piece is displayed in a natural wood oval embroidery hoop, allowing the hoop itself—the traditional tool of embroidery—to become part of the finished artwork.
