Introducing the second addition to the limited edition series Silhouettes of Spring - the collaboration between illustrator Rachel Matthews x Atelier Little Tailleur.
A new drapey Tee silhouette has been developed to compliment the stylistic poses of the illustrations 'Curve' and 'Stride'. Screen printed on featherlight modal jersey this effortless style is very limited...just 30 of each design produced.

We'd like to send out a big THANKS! to Jeremy and his team at Lamington Drive for the use of their gallery space. A fitting environment to shoot our Tees amongst the numerous illustrators represented at Lamington Drive. Merci Beaucoup!

Rachel Matthews x Atelier Little Tailleur

Currently living and working in Melbourne, Rachel Matthews was born and educated in the UK.
Rachel's professional experience in fashion over the past 20 years encompasses both the commercial and academic. International fashion design, illustration and consultancy projects have been a hallmark of her commercial activities.

Rachel's illustration work uses a range of drawing and printmaking techniques, exploring shape and structure through use of strong stylish silhouette. Her use of drawn marks and texture convey the tactile experiences of fashion.

Rachel's soon to be launched website (Fashionlexicon.net) will showcase her extensive body of work. We'll keep you posted on the launch date!

Thanks for an inspiring collaborative outcome Rach!!

Designed by Jess Leitmanis this gorgeous Beaugrenelle Print is used throughout the Spring Summer 2010 Collection.
Jess's organic approach to her art is evident in the signature print and captures the heady bohemian spirit of the 70's.
The print is translated into feminine, vintage inspired silhouettes with textural combinations, the Daphne printed dress just one example.

Jess Leitmanis
Artist / Illustrator

Jess grew up on the coast of Victoria, spending most of her time at the beach and outdoors surrounded by nature.
This has influenced much of how Jess sees things today, noticing patterns and repetitions in her environment.
Her grandma's numerous wardrobes, crammed with clothes of explosive colour, sparkle and print have also played a part in inspiring her work today.
Travel and surfing are her other passions which keep Jess creatively inspired.
