Elworthy Studio x Amour Vert

I’ve been a fan of sustainable fashion brand Amour Vert ever since I received their first catalog a couple years ago. The company’s commitment to responsible sourcing and production aligns with my own values, and their clothing strikes that balance between fashionable and timeless. When I discovered they are based right here in San Francisco, I decided to reach out and see if they’d be interested in collaborating! Fast forward about six months, and my exclusive print for AV is now in stores!

THE PRINT: MOJAVE FLORAL

Amour Vert’s head fashion designer was looking for an painterly floral to complement her desert-inspired March delivery. She loved my “Botanica” design, so we used that abstract style of floral motif as a starting point. I incorporated some painterly marks to add movement and visual interest to the print.

FASHION / INTERIORS

Although I started in retail fashion, I’ve been fully immersed in interiors for a few years now and it was a (fun) challenge to design a wearable print! I am used to designing for large, often flat surfaces…you know, walls. And I tend to gravitate towards larger scale prints that make a statement from across the room.

For this design, we decided on a small to medium size print. I also had to consider movement, both of the print and of the person wearing the print, and make sure that the design would be flattering. It was a fully collaborative process between myself and the AV design team, and I’m grateful for the feedback they gave along the way to push this design to its best version!
