FLASHBACK SPRING 2008 FLORALS
IN 2008 A FRIEND ASKED ME TO CREATE A EDITORIAL FOR HIS MAGAZINE. HE SENT SOME PICS OF LOOKS HE WANTED TO HAVE ILLUSTRATED FROM SOME FAST FASHION RETAILERS AND I ADDED SOME DESIGNER LOOKS TO ROUND OUT THE STORY. AT THE TIME I WAS SO TIED UP WITH MY CUSTOM DRESS CLIENTS I HAD TO ABANDON THIS PROJECT SO IT COULDN'T BE PUBLISHED. I LOVED THE STORY SO A YEAR LATER I PULLED OUT ALL OF THE HALF COLORED SKETCHES AND DECIDED TO COMPLETE IT.
FOR SPRING 2008 FLORALS WERE AT THE TOP OF EVERY TREND BOARD. BUT I WANTED TO ADD SOME EDGE SO FROM THERE CAME THE IDEA OF CUTTING THE FLOWERS WITH VARIOUS SHARP INSTRUMENTS. THE STORY HAS A LOOSE NARRATIVE BUT BASICALLY IT IS IN THE FIRST STAGE THE FLOWERS/DRESSES ARE BEING PLUCKED FROM THE FIELD AND BY THE END THE WOMAN HAS EVOLVED INTO THE FLOWER CUTTING HERSELF.
I KNOW WEIRD..BUT IN FASHION OFTEN THE CHICEST THINGS DONT MAKE SENSE!
