When Luly was graphic designer, she entered a fashion show that requested the contestants to design and construct a dress out of paper. The original Monarch Butterfly Dress was eventually recreated with textiles including silk taffeta, black ostrich feathers, and Swarovski crystals.

No dress is perhaps as closely identified with Luly Yang as her famous Butterfly Dress. Before she started her couture business, Luly participated in a paper dress competition for which the goal was to artistically showcase the paper she was given. Luly decided to create a paper dress inspired by a Monarch butterfly! Later she constructed the actual dress using silk taffeta, Swarovski crystals and black ostrich feathers. Luly describes the dress as a metamorphosis that transformed her career path from graphic design to fashion design.

Inspiration comes in all forms.
Terry Upperman’s pastry version of the Butterfly dress is one such example.
The Monarch Dress is one of Luly’s most famous garments. It is a one-of-a-kind piece constructed out of screen shot silk, Ostrich feathers and hand-placed Swarovski crystals.
