Working directly with the product development team at Hudson’s Bay Company/Lord & Taylor, I created artwork for scarves based on both specific customer requests and mutually developed concepts. From a technical standpoint, as with other customers, I also prepared agreed upon artwork for sample printing and communicated with the relevant V. Fraas factory to ensure samples and the final product were made to specifications. Here are examples of some of my favorite designs.
FRAAS, the branded division of V. Fraas, makes an assortment of truly lovely scarves. Among my contributions to the FRAAS lineup are these prints, designed for the U.S. and Canadian markets.
I worked with the Bloomingdale's private label team on both artwork and coloration. Here are some examples from the resulting scarf collections.
Spending time with Iris Apfel in her Park Avenue home to design scarves for her HSN collection was one of the highlights of my professional career. Working hand in hand with the fashion icon, I sought to craft designs that reflected her iconic style and love of vintage costume jewelry - with a healthy dose of googly eyes and dice.
Ink drawings are done first and then converted into workable illustrator/photoshop files of placed art, print repeats and recolorings for private label cosmetic bags.
