Embellished with gold and silver leaf, The Lady in Gold is a detailed gold-on gold painting that absolutely *sparkles.* Something you may *not* know about this famous painting is that Emilie Louise Flöge inspired the artist Gustav Klimt of The Lady in Gold with her incredible mosaic patterned fashion designs. Although she's a lesser known name in fashion and art, Flöge was an uber talented inventive girl boss in the fashion industry. Here's how to recreate this painting's look and channel elements of Flöge's fabulously unique fashion.
This patterned mosaic shirt is a *fabulous* equivalent of Flöge's fashion.
The shimmering ballroom gold skirt makes it look like you're wearing a sea of gold.
