GATHERING IMAGES for new stores
24/08/08 09:30 Filed in: Work
I have now compiled images and edited them for the
following stores: OCTOBER 31, HALLOWEEN NIGHT, WILD from Edith, and ‘a la mode’. Currently, I am
adding images to the ‘a la mode’ shop. This shop
is largely based on fashion trend and there is
and has been a trend for animal skin designs for
household product and for linens and textile. So
pulling these designs from my portfolio has been
fun. There is also a heavy trend and has been
for several years to add the feminine form to
product. Say, interesting faces, women busy with
packages, women or girls doing things they enjoy
and I have some looks which were painted with an
impressionist style which I am adding to the
products I will be placing in ‘a la mode’.
Products with women’s faces or form are everywhere and on every thing from greeting cards and wrapping paper to fabric and household products. One interesting use of women’s faces is on shoes. The ED HARDY line by Christian Audigier from NOTHING TO WEAR has created a most interesting rendering by using needle point and placing the face of beautiful women on high top sneakers.
The animal skin designs are flexible and I can quickly change them into product of various kinds. They are dramatic and they touch a place which causes one to think about where these animals come from and about their place in the world. This vary interest and focus on the design whether as a painting or a product brings the animal’s welfare to the front . Fashion no longer support the use of real animal skins and real fur but the use of the patterns in textile and surface design keeps the animal and his habit in an awareness.
