The makings of a print!

Fabric is key for Mr. Rose – there is nothing like the rush of spotting a gorgeous print or texture – the hand immediately juts out to confirm its beauty under paw. This season we teamed up with Karie from ella and sofia www.ellaandsofia.com to create a couple of prints exclusively for us. The inspiration was 1940s mens ties (and the idea of the traditional English hunting sock…..!) so we played with paisley, stripes and checks, wanting to create texture that popped! Working with a palette of rusty and deep reds, with a touch of gold, plus the charcoals and pop pink - vavavavoom we came up with two beautiful designs that we had digitally printed on silks for our airy Aviator and chic Blousons. The following pics show the progression of the Paisley print from sketch to finished style!

Yours wrapped in fabric,
