I soon will be be ready to present my patterns to fabric and interior decor industry. the truth is that i am a both scared and excited to jump in.
I first wanted to wait until I have various smalls coordinated collections to propose. So far, my patterns are individuals colors editable items (I hope they all have a family connection but there were not actually built as collections).
I cant wait to design some proper collections (coming soon)… How exciting!
Meanwhile, I try to make presentations such as these lampshades video to help people imagine how they could use my designs on their products. 🙂
Jane Morris (The Blue Silk Dress) – a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti of his lover. Illustration: Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Jane Morris, pre-Raphaelite face of the Morris company brand, was essential to the creation and success of her husband’s decorative arts firm, Morris & Co
” One of the first decorations that William Morris made was a daisy-patterned wall hanging for Red House, which has since cemented his reputation as a design pioneer. “Jane later tells her daughter May, in a letter, that she chose the fabrics for that. And she and Morris sat down together, worked out what pattern was possible and then they stitched it together ” the guardian
Jane became Rossetti’s model and muse, featuring in hundreds of his pictures, defining the Pre-Raphaelite ‘look’. He challenged Victorian conceptions of ideal femininity by formulating an unconventional, ‘aesthetic’ type of beauty characterized by a:
-columnar neck – thick waves of hair – well-defined brows – large expressive eyes- sensuous and long finger – massive limbs and large throat – exaggerated lips and eyes counterbalanced by a sense of remoteness
Did Jane Morris’s and Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s affair have an influence on the Arts and Crafts Movement?
