"Faith" - Karla Spetic S/S 2013

For her Spring/Summer ’13 collection Karla Spetic showcased a series of her bright sheath dresses and separates took inspiration from stained glass windows. Their digital prints feature flattering portraits of Biblical superstar Jesus himself — skin ex-foliated, beard groomed and eyebrows sculpted —pouting praying, and getting a cuddle from a cute little lamb.

The “Faith” collection mixes monochromatic tones with bright fuchsia and turquoise, featuring wardrobe staples with cutouts and popping prints with frills. I find the playful palette pleasing and feel it works really well for the S/S collection, the colours create an exciting atmosphere and don't think any woman could feel anything other than happy when flaunting one of these garments. These are colours woman are going to be wearing for the sunny season.Along with the shape/structure of the garments the black also keeps the popping colours sophisticated and Spetic's art for taking something simple and making it unique resulted in a calculated and playful femininity.

Karla Spetic has used an all over print design for her garments and i think these pop art inspired digital images of Jesus are perfect inspiration for my current project on Fashion and Faith. I think a religious pop art  all over print would work perfect on a statement tee, like the following high street tee from ASOS.com.

I'm not keen on the black and white print onto organic background however the style would work well in the palette Karla Spetic used.

Karla Spetic's pop art designs scream Andy Warhol at me and I think combining his photographic style using Photoshop to introduce the vibrant colour pallet I could create amazing pop art inspired prints. Using my own photography is something i am really interested in and will definitely experiment with throughout the design process.
