Patterns on Products: The Swimwear by The Call of Summer
As a pattern designer, I am always thrilled to see how my work is going to look on real life products. I am even more excited when it resonates with the brand’s voice. Recently I received some styled shoots from The Call of Summer, an online brand making gorgeous swimwear for women. I am so on board with their belief that the true beauty is all about being authentic and imperfect. When I design patterns, my hands get dirty, and the floor around my table is covered with dozens of pieces of paper. My design process is definitely imperfect. Would I create the same stuff if I strived to keep everything nice and clean? I don’t think so. Would I find some nice pattern ideas while being afraid of ink splashes on my table? Probably not. Imperfections are a part of our lives, that’s what makes us unique. I hope that my messy pattern supports and reinforces the idea of being authentic and embracing your personality.
