Look Closely at These Busy Patterns by Monica Ramos

Mon­i­ca Ramos (pre­vi­ous­ly) is a favorite illus­tra­tor of mine, and her tal­ents were recent­ly high­light­ed in the Rachel Antonoff Fall 2015 fash­ion show. Pat­terns fea­tur­ing frogs in var­i­ous stages of dis­sec­tion as well as a high school love tri­an­gle adorn a dress, shirt, and jumpsuit.

Maybe you’re ask­ing your­self, “high school love tri­an­gle?” And yes, you read that right. The col­lec­tion is on it! Antonoff tells Wom­en’s Wear Dai­ly, “There’s Fern, the stu­dent who’s hav­ing an affair with her biol­o­gy teacher, Sey­mour, who is in love with the botany teacher, Angel­i­ca, who is in love with Fern.” A bet­ter look at Mon­i­ca’s pat­terns are below.

Here’s a few more pieces from the col­lec­tion. The pat­terns and embroi­dery aren’t by Ramos, but I like ’em! See the entire show here.
