Made from a new textile print created especially for the Audrey Grace boutique. This colourful fabric design was inspired by childhood, candy wrappers, bubblegum tattoos and the sublime Wes Anderson film Moonrise Kingdom. Each circular motif was adapted from my watercolour illustrations, as are all the fabrics used in my small dress label.
I love working with Jaclyn Bethany, the curator of AG, because she such such a wonderful flair and passion for beautiful things, and it's also been pleasurable to take the time to experiment with different ideas and colour schemes than usual. I've actually got a few more top secret designs to share with you all during the week.
I'm also chuffed to say that i've come to the conclusion that textiles and clothing will be my future career path. I'm so excited about building a label of my own and will hopefully be able to study full time in order to achieve this. (Just have to go through the icky interview process at the universities this december. wish me luck!)
For more information about how to order one of these dresses, please email me.
(please pardon the silly posing... my excuse is that these dresses just look so much better on a body than hanging on the wall. :P )
this is the most beautiful material i have ever seen, what a perfect garment.
ReplyDeletesuch sweetness! Thankyou! My ultimate dream is to have my own textile emporium one day! so many idea, so little time.
Deleteso amazed by you :)
ReplyDeletehow do you carry out a drawing or a design? do you make it up as you go along or do you imagine and plan it? or?
thanks erika!
Deletei usually start with a theme and some kind of visual idea in my head - of course nothing ever looks exactly the same when you try to transfer an idea onto paper - then start drawing directly with pencil. i make lots of edits in this stage and when i've got the linework i'm happy with i fill everything in with water-colour paint.
i mostly paint the things i am obsessed with at certain times, so i just pick one thing that i fancy and go from there.
