The inspiration I wanted for this one can be summarised in one word: exotic. I wanted harlequin-type colours, which I had never dared before, a Black beauty, an exotic bird and last but not least, to integrate Celtic knots into it, or at least the idea of them, as I didn't follow a traditional pattern but improvised with the cut of the clothing. The shoulder pieces were born of the need to give the bird a spacious perch. You can see a walkthrough of the making of this piece here.Print available here
