Blur Prints
These prints were created for the Rachel Comey Pre-Spring 2023 collection.
Painted Daisies Print
Pre-Spring collections can be notoriously hard to design for, as it is a transitionary period between winter and summer, and to sell successfully you ideally want something that can bridge that gap and play in both seasons. I created this print for Rachel Comey’s PS23 collection to do just that. Though florals are typically found in spring, the starkness of this design does not feel out of place in fall and winter. Even among the three colorways, there are elements of both seasons.
Blur Print
This is probably one of my favorite prints that I created for Rachel Comey. We had been tossing around the idea of this sort of futuristic, sci-fi reimagining of a classic gradient, extra-terrestrial meets knitwear. We wanted to keep it simple and subtle, while still capturing the feeling of getting sucked into a tractor beam. I’m proud to say I think I achieved that for the PS23 collection, with these two colorways on opposite ends of the cosmic spectrum.
Daisy Ombre Print
Combining the Blur print and the Painted Daisy print, this print is the culmination of months of work, and feels like the perfect encapsulation of the Rachel Comey PS23 collection. The art consists of the Blur in blue overlaid on the Painted Daisy in black and white, ultimately printed on hammered silk. Is it at once chic and playful, while still containing a bit of mystery and whimsy. Made only in the colorway shown, it translated excellently to the physical garments, as seen below.
