INSPIRATION: POLKA DOTS
The polka dot has had an enduring presence throughout fashion history. A timeless print, it has never gone out of fashion: worn across dresses by Eleanor Roosevelt in the 30s, Marilyn Monroe’s bikinis in the 50s and featured throughout designs by Mary Quant and Rudi Gernreich in the 60s – during which Roy Lichenstein created his comic strip Ben-Day dot paintings and Bridget Riley produced her dotted Op Art. In the 80s the polka dot was used as a fashion statement adorning oversized garments and bold shapes and in the 90s famously worn by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. For autumn/winter 2011 the polka dot has come out in force once again with the print featuring heavily throughout Marc Jacobs' catwalk collection. Dressing models in head to toe polka dot – large, small and even in three dimensions – most exciting of all was seeing the designer translate the spot across his accessories, the focus of our latest Object of Desire by Rosha Nutt.
O padrão das bolinhas tem perdurado longamente na história da moda. Um padrão intemporal que nunca saiu verdadeiramente da moda e que foi consagrado ao longo dos tempos nos vestidos de Eleanor Roosevelt nos anos 30, nos bikinis de Marilyn Monroe na década de 50 e nos designs de Mary Quant e Rudi Gernreich nos anos 60 - durante os quais Roy Lichenstein criou os seus cartoons Benday Dots e Bridget Riley produziu a sua Op Art às bolinhas. Nos anos 80 o padrão das bolas é usado como um verdadeiro statement de moda adornando roupa oversized e de formas arrojadas, e nos anos 90 como esquecer o vestido às bolas usado por Julia Roberts no filme Pretty Woman - Um Sonho de Mulher. Para o Outono/Inverno de 2011-12 a colecção de Marc Jacob e o styling do desfile trouxe o padrão das bolas novamente para a ribalta, onde as modelos estavam vestidas dos pés à cabeça, incluindo acessórios, do clássico padrão "Polka dots". Alguns desses acessórios trouxeram as bolinhas para três dimensões, agora desenhados pelo ilustrador Rosha Nutt.
