Interpretative Labels

Label

Cleopatra’s Fan Block allowed me to create a dress and headdress for this young woman. Each part of the block allowed me to get creative with pattern and color to give this design some wow, from the search light rays in the background to the elaborate headdress worthy of a night on the town. The marble inspired fabric columns on the sides gave space for some architectural inspired lines indicative of the times.
