Inspired by a piece of textured curvy driftwood, this spiral pleated gown was a creative project combining traditional draping techniques with organic shapes found along BC's westcoast. As someone who grew up in Vancouver, this gown is a perfect example of how Julianna connects her love for dressmaking with the natural beauty of her surroundings. Each curve and fold of the gown echoes the coastline’s quiet rhythm — a reflection of how her design process is deeply rooted in place, memory, and craft. This piece is not only a celebration of form and fabric, but also of the landscapes that continue to shape her creative perspective.
