Fashion + Art Unite with Prismera Design
By Faith
The Fashion and Art Worlds have always been attached at the hip. Fashion designers are considered “artists” just the same and for Fashion Weeks all across the globe, many collaborate with gallery spaces to showcase their designs.
Laura Su’s roots are based in art, as she graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. Though embarking on Prismera Design, her jewelry and accessories line, painting has always been near and dear to her heart and an inspiration for her collections: “Watercolor is a medium that I’ve loved since art school and painting these lovely girls has allowed me to continue embracing color in a different way while designing my line of jewelry.”
Su has just released her second series of fashion illustration prints comprised of five designs: Scarlet, Cadmium Yellow, Emerald, Cobalt, and Coral. Each is printed on slightly textured 100% cotton rag paper and the inks are professionally archived. The prints come in sizes 5″ x 7″ and 11″ x 14″, as well as sets of three for both sizes. Prices range from $20-$55 and frames are available as well.

Rock Out Your T-Shirt with Rotter and Friends
By Amanda
Throwing on a t-shirt may seem like a slacker’s approach to style, but the brand Rotter and Friends make this comfy staple into a fashion statement. Created by New York-based illustrator Jess Rotter, these graphic tees are anything but ordinary, and are adorned with whimsically intricate drawings of iconic rockers from the 60s and 70s. This is only fitting, since Jess says that her line uses music as its inspiration – she is even a rock band promoter by day!
Since the brand’s birth, Rotter’s popularity has grown tremendously. Rotter was recently selected for a prestigious spot for the Gap PRODUCT(RED) Artist Edition T-Shirt Collection, to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
The Rotter and Friends Spring 2009 collection features a fresh crop of t-shirts available in men’s and women’s styles, in an assortment of colors. The shirts fit like a dream, and fans and supporters of the brand include Natalie Portman, Jakob Dylan, and Swedish band Dungen (Gustav Ejstes of Dungen is the eye candy you see modeling the tees on the site!)
We promise if you wear a Rotter and Friends t-shirt to your next indie concert, you will earn major street cred. T-totally.
