Explain the meaning behind Gilding the Lilly?

Gilding the Lilly is the first mixed media painting I attempted and was a break from the norm. I used acrylic, which I do for all my paintings, but introduced Gold Leaf to embellish the look and feel of the work. To quote Shakespeare King John "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light to seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess." Basically, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and doesn’t need external influence or additions to make it more so. In a world of thin veneers and airbrushing, we are constantly blinded by what is not real to the extent that we believe what we actually see is real. In my painting, I try to emphasize that fact, to the extent and detriment of her beauty, by covering her and liquid gold, as though the very act would make her more beautiful.

When, in reality, she is more so without it.

What are you working on at the moment?

I have been off the brushes for a while, probably six months or so, but needed to do this in order to unearth new inspiration, I like to think of this period as being procreative. I like pushing my boundaries and feel that I have more to give in respect to how and what I paint. Bear in mind, I have no formal training and every piece I do is literally learned on the job. That said, I am currently working on several hyper realism paintings at the moment with some abstracts on the burner.

Do you work certain hours each day or only when you are inspired to work?

I do like to paint in natural light which, unfortunately, is restricted in the winter months. but usually I rise very early and can paint day after day, sometimes without stopping for a break, I get that engrossed in the work. Yet, on some days, I can enter the studio and not paint anything, I just stare at the work done, analyzing it in my head.

How did you discover your talent for art?

I believe that anyone can paint but not every painter is an artist, which is true for most professions. I know that when I was a kid I had a certain eye for drawing and was the ‘best drawer’ at school, but I didn’t follow it through to college or university.

To be honest, I didn’t believe at the time, nor was I encouraged in pursuing a career as an artist, because the curriculum just didn’t support that notion. You either painted like Rueben’s or you didn’t, and I certainly wasn’t anywhere close so I gave it up and pursued a trade in Cabinetmaking. It was only after a chance visit with my daughter some twenty five years later to the Tate Gallery that my inner artist started to question me about returning to my art. That was almost two years ago, and I certainly have a lot of catching up to do.

What are you doing when you’re not creating?

First is looking after my beautiful wife and daughter, without whose support I wouldn’t have started painting. When I am off the brushes, I make furniture. it pays the bills and keeps a roof over my head. I do have a trade to fall back on, so I am lucky in that respect, but it’s hard work and difficult to come by in this time of austerity. But I do what I can, when I can. www.davidlscholes.com Twitter @davidlscholes Facebook @davidlscholes Eiamagazine.com

EXCLUSIVE

INTERVIEW

What does fashion mean to you?

Fashion is the ability to create and wear art through what we as individuals feel will best express our own personality and our take on how we want to present ourselves.

What was the first article of clothing you ever designed?

The first article I ever designed was a woman's gold silk and lace strapless evening gown. I cut the shape of the lace and placed it as a sheer detail down the center of the bodice.

Describe the general process of designing a piece of clothing.

I really enjoy draping a garment and working with my hands on a design. I usually start with a concept or an idea and then just drape it on the form. From that point on we take the design and turn it into a flat pattern. Once we have the final version of the dress made I will usually go in and place the details, decorations, and beading on how I would like them placed and finished.

What are some of your accomplishments as a designer?

I am just proud to be able to have accomplished starting my own line and being able to grow the brand to showcase it in New York and Paris during fashion week. I am also excited about adding shoes to my brand.

They are being made in Italy and will make their debut this September during New York Fashion Week.

How can people purchase your clothing?

My clothing line is available in specialty boutiques through out the world and through our online boutique.

What is your inspiration when designing clothes?

I am usually inspired by music, history, architecture and anything thing that I find to have an interesting detail or concept.

What do you believe makes a quality article of clothing?

Definitely a piece that is more artistic and unique that requires careful handwork and intricate details with luxurious fabrics.

What do you believe makes a quality article of clothing?

Definitely a piece that is more artistic and unique that requires careful handwork and intricate details with luxurious fabrics.

What matters most to you as a fashion designer?

Being able to do what I love and yet still being able to lead a successful business. I always try to find the balance between creativity and creating wearable garments.

How would you define the style your line exemplifies?

I believe the line exemplifies chic, beautiful, garments that carry an edge but still are very sophisticated.

What are your fashion goals?

One of my main fashion goals is to grow the brand and expand it into the Middle East and Europe.

What put your design career over the edge to get you to the point your at now?

I believe the exposure from New York is what has gained us the exposure that we have been looking for. Also, showing the brand in Paris was a really big step for us and is definitely one of the factors that has gotten us to where we are currently at.

What was your motivation to start your designing career?

My background before starting my own label was in working with high end brands. After working for a few companies, I really wanted to break away from corporate america and pursue my own label. I had seen things that I wanted to do different with my own label and was really motivated on pursuing my own brand.

How is your recent collection different from what you've done in the past?

The collection we are working on for Spring-Summer 2014 is different than anything else I have done because we are molding fabrics like chiffon, organza, and lace and making it look like metal armor. The textiles are dipped in a solution which hardens them and then we shape them into different types of armor like garments. I want the collection to look like it's a group of fashion warriors.

How can you encourage the customer to form an emotional attachment to your product, thereby discouraging disposal?

What I would want the client to understand is that the type of garments we create are intricate, unique, high end garments, that are meant to be timeless, artistic garments that can be worn for many seasons.
