A Hand-Painted Dress By Holly Fowler
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous Costume Institute Gala, socialite and philanthropist Samantha Boardman wore a one-of-a-kind dress that turned heads. It was green silk, with what looked like gold and turquoise embroidery. On closer inspection, it became clear to admirers that the designs were painted. The luxurious trompe l’oeil look is the signature of Brooklyn-based gown designer Holly Fowler, an alumna of such brands as Chloe and Louis Vuitton. Having been spotted by Voguetastemaker Lauren Santo Domingo, Holly’s works are now highly sought-after. She’ll work with private clients to determine the perfect fit and look for their special pieces, a throwback to an earlier era of dressmaking.
