……………….I designed this print and it was actually an INK BLOT! I had sheets and sheets of super large white paper, and dropped blobs of black paint on the paper. Then folded it in half to get the other matched side. Once they were dried I hung them all around the design studio, and all of my assistants voted on which they liked best. They were numbered 1 through 10, and they wrote the number they liked down on a piece of paper and put them in a box. I then tallied them up. Of course I made the final decision, but it was a fun game to play, and they all felt involved in the process. This coat was printed on a heavier weight wool crepe.The coat had a zip front with a shirt collar and the Trapeze shape showed the print well……..The sleeveless wool crepe skimmer dress was in the red of the collection. I also had the print done on a Silk Cady, and that is what the pump is made of……I loved designing shoes, and it was so much fun to be able to have them in the matching prints……..They were fabulous shoes on their own.
I agree with CGee. This is a fantastic print! And the shoes look amazing.
Fantastic print for both coat and shoes! It’s such fun to hear about your whole creative process. Thanks for sharing these stories!
