From the prints all over the runways for spring 08 to the all-over prints for streetwear and the op-prints in the world of avant fashion, the print’s the thing and a Portland-based company delivers.
Pattern People is the surface design duo of Claudia Brown and Jessie Whipple Vickery who specialize in prints for apparel and interiors. Having work under their belts for Nike, Macy’s, and MTV, they launched PP in 07 to rep their own work, do custom surface design projects, and rep the work of a handful of other designers.
Their newly minted weblog does what blogs do best, tracing the idiosyncratic and esoteric sources of their inspiration, tripping through all-star textile design wonders (we love Celia Birtwell+Ossie Clark as much as PP) and a couple of mysterious deaths.
We are lucky to be able to feature, over the next few weeks, some examples of their work up front on ultra.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
