Fashion designers often draw inspiration from nature. Bright fabrics, flowing texture, floral prints - what else is needed for elegant dresses. And here is a 22-year-old designer from Singapore Grace Ciao knows that copying perfect creations is almost hopeless, where better to use for your sketches flower petals … Then the models certainly look inimitable!
It is almost impossible to outsmart nature, it is much better sometimes to listen to its inner harmony, to find ready-made forms in it, refined and natural. Traditionally, sketches are created with colored pencils or watercolors, but the “flower” counterparts, as practice shows, look much brighter and more convincing.
By the way, the idea of creating "natural" sketches is not new: we have already told readers of the Culturology.

Grace Ciao uses exclusively “noble” flowers for its models: roses, carnations, lilies, violets …
The designer says that each petal in a bud is unique, as its color usually combines many shades of color. “It helps me create patterns that I couldn't even think of. The petals are great for illustrating sketches as they are refined, sophisticated and similar in texture to soft fabric,”says Grace Ciao.
