From the first illustration and fabric sourcing to pattern-making, draping, and drafting, each design evolves until the first sample becomes the final couture piece.
Lily combines various fabrics and printing techniques to produce exclusive materials — such as 100% silk charmeuse, silk organza, and cotton twill.
Hand embroidery, corsetry, and lace detailing elevate her fabrics into wearable art. Her pieces often feature Czech beads, vintage buttons, ruffles, pearls, and intricate lace embroidery over custom-printed silk.
Using CLO3D, Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator, Lily translates her sketches into precise 3D garments, exploring fit, texture, and silhouette.
A single dress transforms into three distinct looks — fitted, tied, or wide — making it suitable for occasions from a summer day to a formal event. It embodies her belief that fashion should empower every body shape.
Lily’s creativity extends beyond couture into art collaborations and 3D design innovation. Highlights include:
Couture silk dress re-interpreting the artist’s painting, featuring hand embroidery and ostrich feathers.
‘Beauty of Underwater’ collection.
Handbags and structures merging technology with fashion.
1st Runner Up & Audience Award.
An award-winning designer and stylist, Lily’s work has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, Madame Figaro, and numerous international publications. Her collections have been showcased at New York, Los Angeles, and Paris Fashion Weeks, reflecting a global footprint and artistic identity
