Barry Kite Aberrant Art

“Nude Texting” by Barry Kite

We can really neither define nor categorize these prints… and Barry would be relieved. We always know what we like and sometimes we can’t say why. That is exactly the type of elusive and emotive jolt for which Barry hopes. We also know that his irreverent and powerful clashes of images, icons, ideas and eras represent the basis of intelligent design that HighStreet embodies. Barry is Chicago-born, UCLA-educated, and now resides in Northern California. He views his Aberrant art as “visual poetry” that likely elicits endlessly divergent interpretations.

Faking Beautiful. Mary Katrantzou

Leah Spurrier — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:15:50 +0000

Mary Katrantzou is a young Greek-born print designer who studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and then Central Saint Martins. With training in both Textile and Fashion Textile Design, and inspiration from both Russian Constructivism and 70’s movie posters, she has created a collection of wearables that shock and impress.

For her Fall/Winter 2009 Collection, she was awarded the British Fashion Council’s New Gen Sponsorship supported by Topshop to show at London Fashion Week.

Her use of a graphic, hyperrealist aesthetic summons an impression that the huge neckpieces would be too heavy to wear as Katarantzou invokes the use of Trompe L’oeil to create the illusion of oversized jewelry. The feature digital prints on bonded zip dresses render the wearer both powerful and beautiful as the symmetry plays against the female shape.

Fun fabrics from Eley Kishimoto

We’re growing fond of these fun fabrics from Eley Kishimoto. We want to recover a deserving old dining chair or sew some accent pillows with one of these original designs.

Hidden Treasures

We are currently obsessed with print and pattern design. We practically squealed with delight when we received “Graphic Details: A Style Guide to Patterns and Applications” by Page One Publishing. The prints found in this book are so fresh and edgy, we are totally inspired. Look closely, and you will find hidden treasures embedded in the designs.
