Fashion Embroidery: Embroidery Techniques and Inspiration for Haute-Couture Clothing

Product Information

A range of drawing skills and a commitment to drawing as a tool for communication and investigation I still believe a lot more can be done for inclusivity in our art industry and hope to discover how I can help with this movement and push it forward. There are many steps we can implement within art galleries that can easily involve a part of our community who are not always considered.

Art can be created through hundreds and thousands of different forms of media. Everyone is unique and different and so when approaching the industry or particular artistic community I think, though it is hard, that staying confident in your own skills and the unique qualities you have to offer is important.

It typically uses a variety of stitch styles, and a wide range of time-honoured designs: figurative motifs depicting flowers, birds and animals, as well as geometric and abstract patterns. Untwisted (flat) silk threads create a rich sheen and, when combined with padded stitching, create wonderful three-dimensional effects; twisted threads are stronger and create bolder lines. Chinese embroidery has four distinct regional styles: Shu xiu (Sichuan), featuring mostly natural-world motifs; Su xiu (Jiangsu), in which colours are more naturalistic; Xiang xiu (Hunan), known for emulating paintings, engravings and calligraphy; and Yue xiu (Guangdong), characterised by the use of strong colours, no attempt to produce an illusion of depth, and a prevalence of dragons and phoenix motifs.

English Language Requirements Yolanda Andrés (@yolandandres) grew up in a town surrounded by friends and family with the women in her life. But she hung up the thimble to dedicate herself to graphic design and advertising until in 2008, when her daughter was born prematurely, she began to accompany the long hours in the hospital with the thread and needle. So what she started as a way to abstract herself, stop counting hours and relax became her job. Now she is an artistic embroiderer who has worked for large brands and institutions such as Hermès, Museo Thyssen or Carolina Herrera.
