I also wanted to create a more commercial look that would use similar prints. I focused more on the use of sheer garments to highlight a subtle overload of pattern over pattern.

This is the second batch of prints that I'm uploading. The assignment was to create an ethnic fashion collection. Researching Nigerian textiles and Google searching my way through photos, I fell in love with head scarves, masks, and elaborate hairstyles. I decided to center the collection around head scarves, creating sculptures with the implied fabric. All work is hand drawn and manipulated digitally.

Absolutely beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThe commerical "collection" is definitely something one can imagine in an actual boutique.
I think you could design, and that you should design.
And hire me to do PR!
