Here comes Fall

Fall is almost here and we are all excited to see our Fall '11 collection making it into stores! The concept of Japan was the starting point for our prints in this collection. We looked at the traditional Japanese techniques of indigo dyeing, woodblock printing, and shibori to create some beautiful textures and colors, and we also tried to mix in our modern interpretation of Japanese prints with painterly ink drawings, woodland forest scenes, and conversational prints with birds and owls. Our creative director wanted to capture the look of a modern-day nomad, and we did a lot of print mixing as well. Here are the ones that have made it into the store so far.

 My original Japanese bird print! this is definitely one of my favorite prints to work on.
