Fall 2011 ( Belle Automne)

This collection was inspired by the Japanese influence on Western Art during Bell Epoque era. Comparing the paintings of artists such as Toulouse Lautrec and the Japanese u-kiyo prints. Comparing the paintings and prints, the underlying grids contain prominent diagonals and triangles which is the underlying theme in the pieces. The pieces are both structural and organic, taking cues from the intricate kimonos in Japanese prints. Together these elements make a contemporary, wearable collection.
