"I see the way you were' digital manipulation by Pearl Red Moon, Jan 7, 2014

Pearl Red Moon: Mixed media artist who believes life is too short to wear boring clothes. In the 1970s I caught the last wave of the "Hippie" era and was deeply influenced by the style aesthetics of that generation. I admired designers like Mary Quant and Emilio Pucci with their colour block dresses, pop art fabrics and loose A line shifts, then moving into the late 1980s there were the romantic designers like Bill Gibb and Zandra Rhodes with their ethnic referenced prints, "peasant" style dresses and bohemian whimsy. I describe my own style as a mashup of hippie, bohemian, tribal/oriental/eastern, alternative arty with a bit of goth thrown in. Theres little affordable or flattering in boutiques for curvy creatives and the pattern companies mainly cater for the slender figure and conservative styling. In my researches to find something practical, flattering and less than conventional I was attracted to the contemporary Japanese designers such as Junya Watanabe and the street style aesthetic known as “Lagenlook” (literally – layered look). These influences were so inspiring that I started designing and selling a range of pdf patterns for those who yearn for something different and artistic.
