Am in the process of getting ready to design my Spring/Summer 2009 Collections. I'm honing in on the "mise en scene" and I've almost got that down (tell you about that soon-think industrial revolution, handmade chains in pewtered silver and rich gold, lace and linen flowers) but right now I'm thinking in colors. Pale colors, almost shades of white with touches of vibrancy, the colors of early Summer, the colors that you dream about in Winter and Spring:
pale whites: marshmallow, old lace and linen, peony blush
green: pale cucumber & cardomom green
orange: apricot & cantaloupe
pinks: rhubarb & watermelon & plum, peonies and rose petals
yellow: citrus, squash & tea yellow
I can't wait to see what happens.
awesome, can't wait! also, love that tray with the lace - so pretty and dainty.
ReplyDeleteLove the the top photograph so much- yes as you can see i love those colors! I looked at your collection stunning!
ReplyDeletei am excited to see what you come up with. spring/summer always makes me nostalgic for warm evenings cast in that soft yellow-orange glow that can only be found in season.
ReplyDeletefor some musical inspiration you should give "16, maybe less" a listen by iron and wine/calexico off of in the reins...if you have not already heard it. i have an entire playlist dedicated to spring and summer and this song is one of my faves. i even bought it on vinyl.
Oh my! If this is your inspiration, I am dying and yes I do mean dying to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the music picks Cindy-love Calexico...more more...I need some new music in the studio.
ReplyDeleteMan, I better come up with something good now!
