The inspiration for the new winter collection, Dreams & Feathers, is found in Coco’s trademark or- chestration of ancient esoteric symbols with a hyper-contemporary approach to design. This year, the collection takes a foray into more graphic territories – cubism, kaleidoscopic refractions and the works of M.C. Escher all spring to mind – as well as adopting a new, ulltra-versatile lozenge silhouette.
Feathered messengers of ancient wisdom invite us to a flight into the unknown, a world of psychedelia, dream- like geometries and strange organic landscapes where feathers grow like clusters of plants and ancient jewellry unfurls into cosmic ‘’dream-catcher’’ devices.
Forget Me Not is a concept that revolves around Coco’s own peculiar visual universe and most notably the encounter between several of her particular fields of interest. These include the collage works of the modernist avant-garde, Surrealism, montage as a way of enchanting reality, geometric patterns – especially in esoteric imagery, animals seen as totems, the talismanic power of the object and literary references ranging from childrens’ tales to fin-de-siecle novels.
The collection is available around the world from selected fashion and luxury stores including Barney’s, Harrods, tomorrowland, estnation, Harvey Nichols and more.

MYTHOLOGY
Straight from the myths and legends of ancient Greece comes ‘’Mythology’’ – the stunning new AW2010 accessories collection from Forget-Me-Not. Inspired by characters whose tales of heroism, romance and
mystery have captured mankind’s imagination across the centuries, designer Coco’s digitally printed, 100% silk scarves and turbans depict scenes straight from the well-loved fantasies of times gone by. Here we see the winged horse Pegasus take flight, whilst the sea goddess Calypso, the god of sleep, Morpheus and the snow nymph, Chione, weave their magic spells on the mortals they treat as mere play things.
As always, the Forget–Me-Not muses appear in the form of delicate female characters depicted in dream-like scenarios. Fine featured and full of mischief, these sylphs are surrounded by winged creatures and fantastical beings including horned beetles, ornate shells and regal birds of prey. Twisted ropes of pearls are entwined through elegant turbans whilst Coco’s unique geometrical abstractions beckon you on a strange journey through her imagination. In a palette of ocean blues, dusty pinks, rich greys and midnight black, each scarf design comes in three colour ways, on which brighter hues are set off against a backdrop of neutral tones to give each composition a beguiling sense of depth. Moreover, with every design meticulously rendered by hand, this latest collection in the highly successful Forget-Me-Not series serves as a covetable extension of designer Coco’s work as a sought after fashion illustrator.

“Wonderland” is the perfect fantasy for the SS 10 season. Inspiration flows from the pages of Lewis Carol’s Alice in Wonderland, from the exquisite illustrations of John Tenniel depicting the fantastical world beyond the rabbit hole, and is recast in a modern light as a collection of digitally printed silk scarves. Each design has been meticulously rendered by hand, and serves as an extension of Coco’s work as a highly coveted fashion illustrator.
The muse finds herself transported in ink into three distinct fantasy worlds, which serve as stages of what must surely be a most marvelous adventure. In one instant she sits amongst an explosion of oversized lilies and musical notes, which swirl around bending bars of sound. In another she stands holding a deck of cards, seemingly beckoning us past a grouping of feathers and flamingos to take a closer look.
The third is a boudoir abstraction of whirling timepieces, mechanisms, and upholstery finishings.
Strong geometric shapes and backgrounds serve as a counterpoint to elegant drawings and swirling realities, giving the sublimely feminine illustrations a stronger, modern appeal. Each scarf design comes in 3 colour ways, in which brighter and more neutral tones are carefully considered and utilized expertly to give each composition a unique appeal.

The Norwegian photographer, who has shot ads for Yves Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabbana and fashion features for Harper’s Bazaar and W, has paired with the creative studio-clothing label Surface to Air on a line of silk tops, dresses and oversize satchels, printed with three of his works.
Surface to Air X Solve Sundsbo bag, $200 at surface2airparis.com. Other pieces from the collection available at Barneys New York.“We were looking for images that could create surprising pieces,” said Aldric Speer, Surface to Air’s brand designer. Certainly nothing gives punch to an amorphous sac quite like Mr. Sundsbo’s film still of a scarlet macaw in midflight. source : the New york times

“Forget me not” is a series of Art mode digital prints on scarves and turban, all 100% silk. As an extension of the coco’s work as an illustrator, all designs are based exclusively on personal compositions and all elements have been hand-drawn by her. Coco was commissionned for magazines such as Vogue, Nylon, ELLE, and Muse as well as a number of corporate clients: K Karl Lagerfeld, Evian Cosmetics and Addition Adelaide in Japan.
