Traveling to Thailand has inspired the next 2322 collection for SS17 “Girl on the Go”. This collection is all about fun pops of color and pieces to elevate the simple on the go look! From brunch, girls night out, to running errands and traveling the world these pieces are for those who like to stand out in the midst of a busy (and sometimes hectic) lifestyle.
The colors for me were very important. While in south east Asia the natural landscapes, elements and plant life truly elevated my love for color. Everything was naturally beautiful and full of color. The fruit, The pay phones, the Buddha’s all around the country side, the water, the shore, even the packaging on the snacks in the convenient store were full of color. Along with the color there was an interesting dynamic in how people kept cool and protected themselves from the sun. Breathable and light materials were ever present by the natives.
A few months back I got a generous influx of beautifully colored yarn from a Free People store closing (gotta stay hip to where to find reusables as an entrepreneur, store closings are a great place to look) but didn’t quite figure out what I wanted to do with it yet. Upon returning home I thought and drew out a few ideas and of course took plenty of pictures along my journey. In a few short weeks I would produce “Girl on the Go.”
