Not just the couture motifs kind. The showpiece kind. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Moschino\u2019s 2021 MET Gala look, we embroidered thousands of 3D flowers in varying colours. Each crafted with glass beads and fine metal wires- each petal stitched to hold its curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was one of those time-intensive embroidery techniques where patience is the only tool that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the result? A dress that didn\u2019t just wear flowers- it grew them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nicolas-jebran-for-cannes-22-floral-chaos\"><strong>Nicolas Jebran for Cannes&#8217;22: Floral Chaos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/chi.cds-vbv.com\/nandan.vartak@gmail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nicholas-jebran-for-Cannes-by-Ricamour.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"770\" src=\"http:\/\/chi.cds-vbv.com\/nandan.vartak@gmail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nicholas-jebran-for-Cannes-by-Ricamour-1024x770.png\" alt=\"Cannes couture outfit with gold 3D flowers hand embroidered by Ricamour Embroideries for Nicholas Jebran\" class=\"wp-image-3389\" style=\"width:656px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chi.cds-vbv.com\/nandan.vartak@gmail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nicholas-jebran-for-Cannes-by-Ricamour-980x736.png 980w, http:\/\/chi.cds-vbv.com\/nandan.vartak@gmail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nicholas-jebran-for-Cannes-by-Ricamour-480x361.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PC: Getty Images.

One of our all-time glam favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every flower was made with a different embroidery technique. Layers of sequins, beads, crystals, raffia and craftsmanship created an unforgettable couture look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An ombr\u00e9 that blended gold to nude- achieved not through dye but through <em>technique and texture.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took multiple embroidery languages speaking in one voice.
