The portfolio features a print mix built for young women's fashion: painterly ikat and brushstroke abstracts, paisley/bandana medallions, a ditsy multicolor floral, a geometric ikat check, an animal-print stripe, and a maximalist tropical novelty scenic.
The portfolio shows a fashion-forward, print-led range built on bold color and painterly texture: ikat-blurred brushstroke abstracts in soft multicolor palettes, an animal-print-inspired scribble abstract, ornate paisley/bandana-style medallions in warm jewel tones, a dense multicolor ditsy floral on a navy ground, a blue-and-cream photographic floral, a geometric ikat/houndstooth abstract paired with a tonal animal-print stripe, and a maximalist tropical scenic print with toucans, palms, and a panther silhouette. The range spans painterly abstraction, paisley, ditsy floral, and tropical novelty rather than a single house look.
Per the studio's own description, designs combine hand-drawn imagery with digital production, with each pattern delivered as a digitally-printed silk sample alongside a layered digital artwork file - consistent with the mix of painterly brushwork and cleaner engineered/geometric repeats seen among the selected patterns.
