DEVELOPMENT | ABSTRACTS

Through the years the studio partnered with many talented artists from around the world. Two absolute favorites for unique abstract designs were UK-based Rachel Parker and Harriet Ruscoe.

Both artists could always be counted on for their enthusiastic approach to design briefs, bold use of color and application of traditional mediums, giving each design depth and interest.

San Francisco-based artist Alyssa Guerrero is another brilliant artist taking a multi-media approach to her practice; in particular her use of pencil, which infuses her designs with a slightly naive quality.

Abstracts are a perennial favorite of Kari’s and she often developed studio stories (trends) to support the category. Some examples can be found below:

  • SARTORIAL GEOLOGY | S/S 22

  • ART CLASS | A/W 22/23

  • TOKYO PUNK | A/W 22/23

  • RETRO WAVE | S/S 24
