Grace Ciao is a fashion design illustrator from Singapore. According to bored panda.com, she accidentally started making dresses using flower petals because she wanted to preserve the beauty of a dying rose that was given to her from a boy. She then started to develop it and because flowers is such a perfect substitution for lines, colors, textures, and forms. Grace think that "petals work really well for illustration also because their delicacy and exquisiteness mimic those of a soft fabric".
