Madras: a colorful textured fabric
Its a wonderful, exotic word that, I believe might suit the kind of 'intimate' architecture I am beginning to brew. All summer, I sketched out little contraptions fabricated by textures, colors, lines and simple shapes. In my head they seemed to braid themselves into little colorful knots. The title of this upcoming collection was inspired by a Lucky Brand shirt I recently purchased: a graphic tee with a peacock and the following words, "Madras" . For now, I'm going to keep this title. I'm attracted to it and challenged by the potential prestige it might bring. I'll eventually post a sample book of what is to come, though I seriously need to push myself! Let's see !
