Designing a SWIMWEAR PRINT

WOMEN'S SWIM SPRING/SUMMER 2016

The inspiration behind this print was the spotted eagle ray and the way the bold pattern stands out against the sea. I created two colorways, pulling the blues and greens from the ocean and mixing them with the charcoal, black, and white spotted print. The print repeat is vector-based for ease of printing and controlling colors. Gradients in the background of the print mimic the sense of movement that you can see as the ray swims through the ocean. This print helped ground the line of the brand's launch and remained a best-seller that was used in more swimsuit designs and even men's swim trunks.

This print was showcased on the runway at SWIMIAMI in 2016.
