Refined Retro
Refined Retro is a six piece collection featuring five prints that are aimed at younger mothers ages 25-40 years old. The inspiration was the late 1960s and early 1970s, but with a modern element of silhouettes and colors. My inspiration came from various pieces of artwork that were created in this time frame, that had geometric elements and fun colors. My focal print consists of all six colors in each of the three color ways, and contains elements that can be seen in all four of the coordinating prints as well. My concept for the garment line was to create six ensembles, with a swimsuit and a corresponding beach wear garment that could be used as a cover up and/or a night out and about while on vacation. I wanted looks and prints that would be flattering as well as comfortable to a younger mother; something that would make her feel trendy and unique without feeling like a teenager. Complementing silhouettes and proportioned prints and color blocks help to pull this line together.
