Winter 2015

Hi!

Below is a collection I created recently, titled "Translating Texture". In my class "Modern Art and Design on the French Riviera" we watched the film The Blue Revolution about artist Yves Klein. I was inspired by the experimental nature of his work. I translated the inspiration into play with texture in my designs. I created textures like tonal blues of velvet mink on ribbon embroidery (motorcycle jacket) and multiprocess pattern like in the boxy blue and grey dress. I created a fur pom-pom technique in a wrap-around skirt and experimented with using Yves Klein's self-titled International Klein Blue. I truly enjoyed creating this collection and playing with textural elements!
