Chrysalis S/S 2010

Here's a peek of what's churning through my mind right now- I have these all in my sketchbook for texture and color inspiration. Todd Selby. photographer, has one of the most amazing websites I have ever seen- hordes of beautiful photos from people's homes and spaces, each one better than the last. I can browse through and constantly see some new little treasure or color combination. These gems are all from his site. The first is my complete color story amazingly summarized in a single shot.









My silhouettes are inspired by the chrysalis: its shape, the beauty of that delicate sheer shell, the meaning of its protection and promise of emerging beauty, and the comfort of being surrounded. I found this fashion film recently that captures some of that fragility- Show Studio's "Chrysalis".
