The embroidery craze is hot in the fashion world. Since its unprecedented hit by introducing embroidered handbags at luxury brand Gucci, it has become a hot issue for all fashion items such as blouses, dresses, and jackets.
However, a long time ago, there was an embroidery artist who matched embroidery with fashion and built a unique area with the concept of "decorating embroidery." Horai Wakako, author of this book, "Decoration Embroidery and Props"! While she was interested in vintage fabrics and antique decorations in Europe and America, she began to make her name in 2011 by presenting her own special work that matched embroidery together. "Decoration Embroidery and Props" is the first book that combines the aesthetics of Horai's embroidery and is gaining sensational popularity as soon as it is published in Japan.
Her work captures those who see it as a nostalgic design mainly with plants or animals as motifs, soft yet delicate colors, easy and simple designs that even beginners can challenge, and ideas that can be applied to fashion in a variety of ways.
In particular, this book is full of practical items such as antique barley ribbon hairpins, wild flower pattern bags with retro style, a dress embroidered with Margaret embroidery, and a decorative collar in full bloom, stimulating the desire to try.
It also contains the idea of decorating ready-made fashion products that are usually worn with embroidery, greatly enhancing the joy and utility of embroidery and showing off its unique personality.
