………………The print I designed for this color group was an abstract floral tropical print on SILK…..Once again I took large sheets of white paper and with special color inks I started to paint…..using the HOT PINK, the RED, and BLACK….with small areas of the white fabric untouched……I must have made 20 variations……Then I hung them on the wall and had my assistants vote….very democratic…..when it got down to 4 they voted again in secret ballots which only I read….I was curious to see what they liked without influencing each other….then I selected the one I liked of the four. It was sent over to Italy with color swatches, and in a few weeks the printed trials came back…..and viola a TROPICAL PRINT! To the left is the silk lined topper coat over a sleeveless dress, and on Gayle to the right a draped front strapless SARONG DRESS….They added just the right touch of fantasy to the group.
