Flat Textures

>>Here's hoping you can make these out properly from my blurry pictures but at one of the Masterclasses here at the Arts of Fashion event in Philly, conducted by designer Aurore Thibout and Laurence Teillet (co-founded of Elemental, a vintage furniture store in London, I snapped these prints on tracing paper that were meant to be inspiration images for their students who are doing a screenprinting project.

It was Laurence who had produced them and now I semi/sort of/vaguely/ know how Inside Out, trompe l'oeil garment masters superimpose prints of garments onto clothes so precisely. There's something about the aesthetic of photocopied garments and seeing these entirely flat monochromatic images with the illusion of depth that make just these prototype tracing paper prints very impressive.

  2. beautiful, is a topic that I’ve made as well, for a line of Italian clothing which I design for, laser printing points of knitting (Argail braids, Fairisle pattern) on cardigan or jersey dresses. It ‘s a work of great effect, not expensive to realize, very much loved by the consumer, and also sells so much!

  11. Oh, very ghostly! I like those images. What a great idea for inspiration! I love hearing where people get their inspiration from.

  18. I still remember your original post on Inside Out… all these years later and I’m still blown away by their work.

  19. How impressive these monochromatic textures appear flat!
