Nature Inspired Couture
The mission of Wrapped in Nature is to help people create a new relationship with the Earth by designing nature inspired couture. This is achieved through a performance that gently guides the soul back to the wild, where wearable botanical creations playfully frolic along a spiral path, accompanied by stories of the exploration. Wonder awakens as one’s senses are engaged. Curiosity, play, reverence, and deep understanding of the natural world shine through the performance and offer a healing—both for the human spirit and the Earth itself.
Through my exploration, I recognize the continuity — I am part of the Earth, and the Earth is part of me, we go hand in hand like the circle. My work seeks to embody this pattern, with nature as an inseparable part of self, not as something outside of us. And by forfeiting this relationship, we risk remaining incomplete.
The mission is to authentically share this kinship I experience so that people realize it belongs to all of us, in whichever way we choose to inhabit it. Fashion happens to be the language that nature and I find the most intriguing together. The only action needed is to begin, to decide that a relationship with nature is vital, and like no other, and the rest will write itself.
Wrapped in Nature
“The imagination is boundless & infinite, a place where everything exists. I soon realized that it’s my inner world that nature has been imploring me to activate in relationship to her.”
This work encourages us to contemplate our current relationships with nature and fashion, and how they are intertwined. It is an exploration of collecting, building, honoring, remembering, and being in relationship with what we put on our bodies. Writing captures details and feelings, and helps me understand how my career in the luxury fashion industry was an important precursor to being able to create this work. Working in luxury fashion was a commitment to craftsmanship and detail. Garments are made of exquisite fabrics, prints are meticulously placed to accentuate the body, and color schemes are offered in breathtaking combinations. Now I am looking at nature through this exact lens of beauty and artistry that I honed in NYC. By honoring nature and craftsmanship through garment making, and detailing the relationship to nature in words, I hope to change the way we see clothing, and experience our natural surroundings.
