 Romance Was Born 
SS 12/13
Wearable comic strips! SOON at a store near you! ;)


All things bright and creative came together at the Romance Was Born show this past fashion week. This fusion of art and fashion is exactly what I want to share and express on this blog. The shapes and colors Lichtenstein used were inspired by comic strips and the Ben-day dots he purposely added were a comment on mass production that was prominent in the 60's.
Production and creativity go hand in hand when making art and designing fashion. Hats off to Luke and Anna from Romance Was Born in pulling off an inspired collection that will add fun and possibly even some art history appreciation to their customers.
