Italian artist Oana Soare's Oriental Collage, a patchwork collage of traditional Japanese and Chinese kimono patterns, comes to life on a relaxed silk kimono jacket that layers effortlessly over everything from denim to swimwear.
The story behind the artwork
Oriental Collage is a collage made out of various traditional Japanese and Chinese kimono patterns. On one hand, it references the diversity and richness of their designs, and on the other hand, it references the concept of zero waste fashion, as new creations can be made with leftover fabrics, by using the patchwork technique.
About the artist
I’m a visual artist who’s constantly snooping around for creative and original manifestations in design, and looking to connect with the minds that formed them. I also have a passion for classic finishing touches in paintings, ravishing fields of vision in photography and almost unthinkable structures in architecture - they are source of inspiration & I just can’t keep away!
