>>FEATURED ARTIST - RACHEL CLORE

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545;">Freshly graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Maryland, <b>Rachel Clore</b> is a budding <b>textile designer</b>.

Her memories, <b>sketchbook pages, paper clippings, photographs, and writings</b> then helped inform the creation of digital repeats for fabric. As time passes, Rachel has turned again and again to thoughts of color, food, and the mesmerizing visual clutter that embodies India’s energy and spirit. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div class="yiv630278463MsoNormal" style="color: #454545; display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div class="yiv630278463MsoNormal" id="yui_3_2_0_1_13441888523671379" style="color: #454545; display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Read more about Rachel’s prints and journey through India at<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"> </span></span><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344191599_0" style="color: #366388; cursor: pointer;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://rachelclore.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">rachelclore.com</span></a>.</span></span><br /><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344191599_0" style="color: #366388; cursor: pointer;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iiCEozYqscE/UB7CeMFVfLI/AAAAAAAAGnM/-8x0e4arcTQ/S900/ALICEWILSON.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdrfoh9eny5rrblq3eK5zN3uKZ9OKiXiSG61R0GCyf-1E7De6csijR4OkFPhsukqqqgehxvP6PxQ6FVMacyloiIpc7oiODwkRbcGomGmQ_knbyyD2Szwk9vyEA_cQY5MGJDLi5N6gfrIi/s900/ALICEWILSON.jpg" /></a></div><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344191599_0" style="color: #366388; cursor: pointer;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="yiv630278463MsoNormal" id="yui_3_2_0_1_13441888523671379" style="color: #454545; display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344191599_0" style="color: #366388; cursor: pointer;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">© 2012 by RACHEL CLORE - all rights reserved.   L</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;">ayout may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, photocopying, or otherwise, without prior written permission.</span></span></span></span></div>

padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The coolness and future oriented approch of the 50s and 60s determine this theme. A mixture of innocence and sexiness. Science-fiction brings the required surreality into this theme. Retro, future and design are the key words of this mixture.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">AURA OF PARANOIA</strong><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Mystical, gloomy and serious. A dark undertone finds its expression in austere elegance. Everything is wrapped in a general coolness. Powerful forms take over the appearance and minimize the sight onto the carrier. Matching is taking place here in topics, as medieval times with cyber, gothic with protection, baroque with reduction or femininity with power.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">CALULATED FREAKMIX</strong><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Normality bores. With a lot of courage, surprising and lust for something new, this theme brings us all the fun. Unbiased, like a brainstorming, ideas sputter and interact freely. Like different snapshots of a kaleidoscope in multi-pattern-material-mix, we can witness an extract of one of this season´s theme: clash of plenty.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">CAME, SAW, CONQUERED</strong><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />A fashionable trophy hunt begins. Show-off, no must, but en vogue! Luxury exposed in its prettiest form. No matter if ceiling fresco, candleholder, golden adorenment or persian rugs, they all serve as inspiration for prints, applications, stitchery or whole models. Aristochratic and chic is the mixed diversity made of rich and traditional materials like velvet, satin, duchesse, tweed or corduroy.</span></div></div>
