Collaboration with Georgina Hart

Can you describe your creative process when developing the artwork for the Radiance collection? How did you ensure that your art seamlessly integrated with Karen Gee's vision?

We began with an in-depth discussion about Karen Gee's vision for the Radiance collection. This included understanding her brand's aesthetic, target audience, and the specific elements she wanted to highlight. I created preliminary paintings to align my artistic style with her vision. This stage was crucial for ensuring that our ideas were cohesive. Throughout the process, we had regular check-ins. This allowed us to refine the designs, ensuring they seamlessly integrated with Karen's luxurious and elegant aesthetic.

What specific elements or themes of spring did you draw inspiration from for this collaboration, and how are these reflected in the final printed linen garments?

I am inspired by the renewal and blossoming of nature in spring. This is reflected in the use of vibrant, fresh colours and organic patterns reminiscent of blooming flowers and greenery. The concept of radiance was central, with an emphasis on capturing the play of light and the fresh, airy feeling of spring mornings. I incorporated light pastel shades and soft transitions to embody this theme. The colour palette chosen by Karen, evokes the essence of spring and the rejuvenation it brings.

Working with a fashion brand like Karen Gee, how did you balance maintaining your artistic style while adapting it to fit the luxurious and elegant aesthetic of the collection?

While adapting to Karen Gee's aesthetic, I ensured that core elements of my artistic style, such as my use of colour and fluid compositions, remained intact. I was keen to match the elegant and luxurious vibe of the collection. This involved simplifying some elements and ensuring that the overall design was cohesive and polished, yet harmonised perfectly with the brand's sophisticated and elegant identity. This collaboration allowed me to explore new dimensions of my art, merging it seamlessly with the world of high fashion while staying true to my creative vision.
