The Print
Rainbow harkens back to the super graphics of the 1970s- thank the heavens for Barbara Stauffacher Solomon. The twists and turns of the rainbows wink at us, when is happiness a straightforward proposition?
Although this print is infused with nostalgia its outrageous scale and the full use of the spectrum could only be made now digitally. It uses pigment to explain light. Its transparency between layers of rainbows suggest luminosity instead of color.

The Bib, a riff on the traditional Holoku
When the missionaries brought the nightgown like Mother Hubbard style to Polynesia they never imagined the riot of color and print that Hawai’i would cover it in. We think its dowdy shape was a sharp rebuke to female objectification.
We spent years mulling over this tradtional shape, trying to figure out how to make it fun and wearable. We decided to exaggerate its essential elements. We pulled out the gathers and the darts to simplify it. We shortened it. And we added a small button detail in the back as a nod to its genteel beginnings.
