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

Ooh aahh. I LOVE seeing sneak peeks of your new prints. You have no idea.
Oh Jen, these are AMAZING. Each design makes such perfect use of your textiles. Kudos.
Ahh! I love the new prints. You're killing my bank account! My husband is already pissed over my most recent purchase!!! Seriously, I LOVE the prints. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Such a great quote - thanks for that one!
These are very, very cool prints. Love the silhouette of the first one!
xo
So beautiful!
Jennifer, that first piece is absolutely stunning!
these prints are stunning, love them!
so summery!
I LOVE the prints and the cuts! Just amazing!

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.
love. love the short sleeves. love the prints.
LOVE the new bright stripe print in that dress. Would definitely buy that!
love these jennifer, your work is evolving beautifully.
oh man they just keep getting better and better! I really love the second striped print especially!
Is that your work ?! We love it :o =)
Jo & Sue
