PRINT - 01 'DREAMS IN PINK'
PRINT ON ‘SHOCKING PINK’. PLAYING WITH SCHIAPARELLI’S SIGNATURE COLOUR, VIVID PINK. I HAVE ADDED A GRADIENT EFFECT TO IT, WITH SURREAL ELEMENTS FLOATING ON TOP.
PRINT 02- 'HEAVILY EMBROIDERED'
PRINT ON DENIM ( CREATING A DENIM TEXTURE AS MY BACKGROUND) SCHIAPARELLI USES A-LOT OF DENIM WITH HEAVY EMBROIDERIES ON IT. SO I WANTED MAKE HEAVILY PRINTED DENIM EFFECT.
PRINT 03 - "BIZARRE DESERT"
FLOATING ELEMENTS ON A SURREAL LANDSCAPE, LIKE A DESERT. DREAMY LANDSCAPES WERE HIGHLY SEEN IN THE WORKS OF SURREAL ARTISTS SPECIALLY SALVADOR DALI.
PRINT 04- 'LEVITATING JEWELS'
BLACK & GOLD , PRINT ON A 100% SILK.
I WANTED TO KEEP A-LOT OF GOLD & BLACK IN MY COLLECTION AS SCHIAPARELLI'S WHOLE AESTHETIC REVOLVES AROUND IT'S RICH GOLD JEWELLERY. THEREFORE I WANTED TO SHOW LEVITATING GOLDEN ELEMENTS AS JEWELS.
PRINT 05- 'SKELETON PRINT'
FOR THIS PRINT I TRIED TO MAKE THE SKELETON EFFECT, THIS IS ICONIC SCHIAPARELLI.
I WANTED TO KEEP BAROQUE MOTIFS UNDERNEATH IT TO GIVE AN ILLUSION OF THE TWO WORLDS.
PRINT 06- 'UNDERNEATH THE HEAVINESS'
I HAVE TAKEN STRIPES WHICH IS HIGHLY SEEN IN SCHIAPARELLI'S COLLECTIONS. ADDED SOME DEPTH TO IT, TO DEPICT THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS BENEATH THE STRIPES, AS COMPARED TO THE ANTS & THE HANGING LOCK FROM THE BREASTS (WHICH IS ANOTHER SCHIAPARELLI'S MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT)
PRINT 07- 'SURREAL COLLISION'
FOR THIS PRINT I WANTED TO SHOW AN ILLUSION OF THE HEAVY GOLD EMBROIDERY ON TOP OF BLACK & WHITE, ELEMENTS FLOATING & COLLIDING)
PRINT 08- "KEEP WANDERING"
I WANTED TI GIVE THIS PRINT A MODERNISTIC APPEAL, VERY ABSTRACT, YET VERY SURREAL. DREAMS THAT ARE LEADING TO NOWHERE, WHERE ONE IS JUST WANDERING.
