Lili 2

A copy of original archival bridal fashion illustration hand-signed by designer Anna Nieman, dated 2012. Titled "Lili", this architectural ink sketch illustrates an avant-garde, high-fashion variation of a bridal gown silhouette. The front view features a strapless bodice dominated by dramatic, vertical fan-pleated structural segments that flare slightly at the neckline. At the natural waistline, a structured belt of tightly clustered, delicate fabric flowers defines the torso. Immediately below this floral belt sits a prominent, structural peplum flare that ripples outward over the hips.

From beneath the peplum, the skirt transitions into a clean, sweeping A-line silhouette detailed with light cross-hatched shading along the left side and finished with an organic, wavy abstract border design tracing the hemline. The accompanying "back" view details the clean continuation of the straight strapless neckline, a continuous row of delicate center fabric-covered buttons splitting the reverse bodice, and the seamless wrapping of the floral waistband and structural peplum around the rear silhouette. Perfectly balancing sharp geometric fan elements with soft, sculptural romanticism, this collectible print elegantly showcases the innovative design variety central to Anna Nieman Couture.
