Textiles, prototypes for F/W '11:

I am being subliminally influenced by my surroundings!

"I like to put things up around my bed all the time, pictures of mine that I like and other things and I change it every month or so. There’s some funny subliminal thing that happens. It isn’t just looking at it. It’s looking at it when you’re not looking at it. It really begins to act on you in a funny way."

- Diane Arbus

    Absolutely beautiful! I love both the prints and the pieces you made with them.

    Wonderful quote too - it's funny, I love Arbus' quotes much more than her work!

    Thank you!!
    I'm excited about the F/W prints & collection.
    I'm having problems with narrowing down what to include!
    These styles will probably have longer sleeves... But maybe not.

    Megan- funny, yes. They are summery too! I have been wearing these now. Taking them on test drives :)
    It's the (subliminal?) effect of living in California!
    But I do aim to make my garments seasonless.
    Natural fibers like the cottons & silks I work with can be worn year 'round with a little layering & creativity!

    i love these! the pixelated ombre faux plaid is the best, but i also am a sucker for thin multicolored stripes. wow, i'm really tempted when you release these. will you consider selling just the fabric also?

    Love the prints and the quote! So true, sometimes I will sketch out an idea and a week later it will hit me that it was based on a painting or photograph I loved.

    p.s. The striped fabric is sooo awesome. Beautiful work!

    edgertor: I think so!
    I wanted to sell some yardage towards the end of this summer too- remnants of spring fabric, some from last fall.
    It was just a bit too much to do it all at the same time this season.

    Thanks Shara :)
    Looking forward to seeing what you do for fall.
