PREEN FALL 2011


I love the Preen collection.  Although said to be influenced by the Northern California Arts and Crafts Movement, I'm drawn to the Op-Art qualities of the prints.  Growing up I was surrounded by a lot of pop- art by artists like Bridget Riley, Josef Albers and Victor Vasarely (background image), so its nice seeing a collection draw from it in such a wearable way. Definitely more sophisticated than the Piet Mondrian dress from YSL in the 60's.
