Fascinated by the Holographic technology, Shonglin created a layered embellishment mimicking the aesthetic of a Hologram. Brocades, one of the rich textiles of India have always intrigued her. She decided to use translucent iridescent sequins so the base fabric wouldn't be completely covered and the illusion of a Holograph would be maintained. She used all waste materials from factories to make this piece.
While working in New York City, she was inspired by the beautiful Art Deco Interiors of the iconic Chrysler building. Taking this as her inspiration, she created this futuristic embellished motif from waste sequins and pipes sourced from the couture factories in Delhi.
