Description

This is a design I accomplished in fashion during 1966 I designed this whilst an art student at Liverpool and Wirral art colleges, this is an innovative design with a project of designs from nature accomplished, these bright colours were just emerging in London with Mary Quant and Carnaby Street, I did this with those on trend things in mind at the time, the patterns were taken from a tree whose structures within its bark were broken down into design and colour, forming an abstract design from nature, the models are sitting and standing on branches and roots of the tree and are wearing a mini dress and a cat suit with the design printed into the material of these outfits whilst the backdrop is merging of this design taken from the structure of the tree and it's bark. I took this original design from an actual tree in Birkenhead Park on the Wirral, a 200 year old tree that had enormous roots which was unfortunately struck by lightning in the 1980's I still have this original painting of this tree and it is a bit worn and faded, none the less it looks rather good, whereas the vintaged look is very real and is an original 1960's design. This original fashion design is available as prints to buy on FineArtAmerica and Pixels.com it would look good in any 1960's style decor or as a gift to a friend or collector of vintage designs of that era. This design looks great as a throw cushion especially when the background colours are used as a border, I particularly love the yellow, red and turquoise as a background colour as its gives a very striking effect, any of the colours in the design can be matched up with the background colours, all colour matches in the listings of this artwork look unique and are very striking, I myself have the tee shirt with a turquoise background colour, it looks abs fab and unique.
