Collaboration with Bonnie Maclean for:
Free People
A hypothetical collaboration for Free People clothing honoring the art work of the great psychedelic poster artist Bonnie Maclean. Historically, and currently female artists and designers have been both marginalized and under represented. I decided to celebrate one of the great female artists, who was largely overlooked in comparison to her male contemporaries by designing a dress and tote bag that would incorporate the beauty of her artistry while still celebrating femininity.
Trifold double sided informational card to be included with purchase featuring both my illustrated dress and tote bag.
Illustrating the dress and altering her design to be featured on the dress was a challenge. Not only did I alter the colors, but as the original design was not conducive to wrapping around the back of the dress as I envisioned, I ended up rendering the peacock plumes on the back of the dress myself to fulfill my design.
Altering the poster design for the tote bag was a lot of fun. Check out the important message I designed into her head dressing!
