I present this piece from my Land of Smiles collection, inspired by the traditional clothing of Thailand and the countryside throughout Southeast Asia. I backpacked through the region and experienced incredible landscapes, vibrant culture, and a deep sense of identity in the way people dressed. I also observed how local attire connected to the clothing once worn by royalty, which added even more richness to the inspiration.
 
My challenge was to merge the region’s contemporary fashion with its traditional elements and create something truly ready to wear. During my travels, I found this beautiful cotton batik fabric from Indonesia. Batik is one of the most celebrated textiles in Southeast Asia, so I applied its tradition while blending in western construction techniques.
 
This item is a sleeveless, belted sheath dress. You can wear the belt to cinch the waist for comfort or to highlight your curves. The lightweight floral motif makes it an effortless choice for any summer outing or warm weather adventure.
 
I created this dress to honor the region that inspired it and to share a piece of that experience with you.
