Canvas to couture · Collection 01

The Buttercup Collection

One painting, three looks. Buttercup — my butterflies in full maximalist bloom, all yellow heat and red fire — reimagined as concept fashion: the same artwork carried across a flowing kaftan, a cross-strap jumpsuit and a strapless gown. This is canvas to couture: the painting doesn't hang still, it gets worn.

The Buttercup Collection, Look 1 — a flowing butterfly-print kaftan in yellow, red and orange

Look 1 — The Kaftan

Wide sleeves and a full wash of butterflies — the painting at its most generous.

The Buttercup Collection, Look 2 — a red cross-strap halter jumpsuit with wide legs in butterfly print

Look 2 — The Jumpsuit

Cross-strap halter, wide seventies legs — the red ground lets the gold butterflies run.

The Buttercup Collection, Look 3 — a strapless butterfly-print gown with a full skirt against a yellow backdrop

Look 3 — The Gown

Strapless, full-skirted, unapologetic — the garden worn head to toe.

The source painting, Buttercup (mixed media, 16 × 20 in, 2023), is one of my originals. These concept looks show my idea of the painting carried onto fabric — the direction my canvas-to-couture work is travelling. More collections are coming.
