Magnolia Print Inspired by the saucer magnolia, a prominent spring flower in Washington D.C., I embroidered a simplified pattern of the magnolia on fabric. The embroidery is then scanned and digitized in tints of dusky rose and blue that add a soft, delicate glow.

FABRIC COMPOSITION
Sourced from Japan and South Korea, A.Oei fabrics are mostly composed of natural fibres such as cotton and silk, and regenerated wood-pulp fibres like Tencel-lyocell and viscose. These fabrics are biodegradable and can be safely recycled or broken down at the end of its life cycle.
For garments that require specific functions such as stretch or water-repellent, we may incorporate a minimal amount of synthetic fibres to improve the product quality. These garments are generally outerwear and trousers -- clothing that do not need to be washed as frequently and are meant to be sturdy and fuss-free.
