I love entering the weekly fabric contest on Spoonflower. I especially love it lately because I have been challenging myself by using my own artwork and working on my surface design skills.
I have always loved the Art Deco period and especially those magnificent Vogue magazines. the 1920's was an amazing Fashion design era. After all this was the era of Coco Chanel.
Coco Chanel said:
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
The above design is the one I submitted. She is called ART DECO MAGAZINE 1923. I actually ended up creating so many different versions because it was so much fun. But this one and the full color version, which I called ART DECO FASION MAGAZINE, I put into my fabric gallery.
This contest will run the first week of February. I just designed something for next week's contest, which is Grafitti/Street Art eDition.
Hope you enjoy the music. I thought this post deserved a little bit of Cole Porter. You Do Something To Me.
YOU ARE ON A ROLL!!! My goodness this is full of bright and perfect colors here Karen!!! LOVELY! Anita
Karen I love it and I loved the quote about the sky is fashion and everywhere around, had not really thought of that before. I have never seen that movie either so will put it
on my list. I was sorry to find out that picnik is closing, thats where I loved to do any editing. Thanks again for suggesting that. Now I feel I will be lost without it. Good luck with the contest. Have a fabulous week.
This is just all so amazing to me...and what talent you have. I need to take time to research and learn some of this...even if I never do it..this is so interesting!!
Love this.
Looks fantastic. Such a highly stylized creation and you used wonderful colors. Love your magazine so much I want to read it! ☺
I love the Art Deco Magazine! You are so creative Karen.
I too loved Midnight in Paris. It was so fun seeing favorite artists and authors presented that way.
Hi Karen,
