Hi Friends! I am on hiatus until end of January, gathering my wits. This is the last piece out of the studio and I am so glad I finished it 'cause it's a great example of the current inspiration. Jacket made and embellished by me. Meiji period Japanese screen printed textile added. Sold to the dearest guy. Have a great season, see you in the New Year. Love.
Wild Rose Jacket. The wild rose in Scottish iconography (I'm a Robertson by birth) relates closely to that of the lotus in Japan. Resiliance, incorruptibility, fidelity...good stuff! The variety I painted these roses from was developed right here by @fraservalleyrosefarm and it's called "suzanne". Go figure. Sold to the perfect person. Thank you! . #suzannenorthcott #sustainable #fraservalleyrosefarm
All my hopefulness and love goes into a jacket and then a special you g person comes in, tries it on, and everything makes sense. This match made in heaven made me happy for days. Thanks, Fi! #Fi_7674 #suzannenorthcott #sustainable #theartsblock
Hi! Working on the new collection. This textile I painted myself with the double inspiration of a Meiji period dharma society banner and painter Robert Motherwell's piece, Elegy to the Spanish Republic. Such a culture dive working at bringing these things together. More to come. Thanks for listening! #suzannenorthcott #sustainable #theartsblock #robertmotherwell #meiji
My hand painted fabric and embroidery dancing with classic Eileen Fisher boxy black jacket. Sold #suzannenorthcott #theartsblock #sustainable #fortlangley #eileenfisherrenew
Study in Indigo. Contemporary cardigan coat meets gorgeous vintage katazome. Katazome is like batik but made using rice paste as the resist and hand carved templates. My fave! #sustainable #suzannenorthcott #theartsblock #katazome
