Turing My Art into Wearable Fashion with VIDA
Here is the reason why I am SO excited today: I am turning my art into wearable fashion with VIDA. Most of you know I run a calligraphy and paper goods studio out of my home in addition to running this blog. (If you’re here for the first time, welcome!) I do a lot of hand lettering for local weddings and incorporate real roses in my stationery and imagery whenever possible!
Above is an image I took of rose petals before preserving them. Once preserved, the petals are used to make stationery and artwork that retail in stores here in the US. Pressed roses are so pretty- I just love them! But that moment right before roses are pressed, well it's just as beautiful. I love snapping a photo of work in progress like this one to share on social media. I mean, when the process of creativity is just as striking as the finished product, why not share it?
Then out of the blue, VIDA approached me about turning my art into wearable fashion. I was blown away because wow, what an honor! I spent this past weekend sorting through my images, pulling out the ones I thought would look incredible as clothing. And now, my first official SIGNATURE COLLECTION of Scarves and Women’s Tops has gone public:
Notice the image on this top is the the same as the scattered petals photo above. So far I have transformed 20 plus images roses, calligraphy and mixed media into scarves and tops. Sure, wedding season is in full swing and the orders for calligraphy services have been non stop. But I am so much fun designing with VIDA that I will continue to add more products over the coming weeks.
I'm really excited to partner with
VIDA
for this collection.
VIDA
is a new kind of fashion ecommerce company that connects artists like me all over the world with producers to bring our work to life. And for every product sold,
VIDA
hopes to provide the gift of literacy to the makers they work with. Which of course makes collaborating with them that much better. Preorder my designs and Vida will transform them into wearable art in a responsible, sustainable way. (Tip: search for me by name, Tiffany Anne, on the site
