Color Theory by Carrie Bloomston

COLOR THEORY “Every time I set out to design a new collection, I start by looking backward. I open my huge black leather art file which is filled with all of the original and printed patterns for each collection I’ve designed. For COLOR THEORY, I knew I wanted to share my passion for the language of color. As an art teacher, I wanted to also bring in the creative joy of my middle school art classroom. I don’t use Pantone or any color system for my collections. Rather, I hand paint the palette for each collection and cut out odd bits of those papers, glue them down to a larger piece of paper, and scribble the name for each color next to it. Then Windham uses those swatches to digitally create my palettes. In my art classroom, everything is organized by ROYGBIV so I knew I needed a rainbow in there as well. The collection feels funky, fresh, edgy, and cool to me. I can’t wait to see what you and your customers make. Hint: you’re going to want to sew things for all the artists and creatives in your life with this collection. Aprons, anyone? Celebrate your inner artist!”
