“Wink” is a one-of-a-kind textile portrait of Elizabeth Taylor, created with a blend of vintage photography, hand-knitting, and fine art presentation. The image is heat-transferred onto cotton fabric, with a custom-knitted navy shawl wrapped around the iconic Hollywood star—complete with a sewn button for tactile realism and charm.
This piece is framed in a minimalist shadow box, ready to display. The playful wink, soft texture, and dimensional fabric work make this portrait both elegant and unexpected. It speaks to glamour, warmth, and the timeless cool of one of cinema’s greats.
Created by a textile artist and fashion historian with experience teaching at Parsons School of Design, this work reimagines celebrity culture through a personal and handcrafted lens.
