Antimonide - fashion spot -

The specialty of Forget Me Not is its unique concept – a synergy of fashion and art through the hand made drawings that are later implemented as a print on the silk, cashmere and cotton fabric. The creative mind of Forget Me Not – Coco – is a fashion illustrator and graphic artist who joins the idea of art made digital prints on the fabrics. The complex process of the creation involves both craftsmanship and advanced printing technology. That is because all the graphic works and print designs featuring on the scarves are initially hand-drawn compositions by Coco. The use of hand drawing technique is a crucial point in design. Afterward, all the compositions are digitally printed on the fine quality fabrics of cotton, silk and cashmere in Como, Italy. This is very advanced process of digital printing resulting in great quality of the products and uniqueness. The scarves are produced in small quantities per design that gives around 100 pieces per style.

The new SS2011 accessories collection from Forget-Me-Not is inspired by Mythology. Designer Coco’s 100% silk scarves – which are are digitally printed in Como, Italy – depict scenes featuring characters whose tales of heroism, romance and mystery have captured mankind’s imagination across the centuries.
As always, the Forget–Me-Not muses appear in the form of delicate female characters depicted in dreamlike scenarios. Fine featured and full of mischief, these sylphs are surrounded by winged creatures and fantastical beings including butterfly, ornate shells and tropical birds. Twisted ropes of pearls snake through elegant tuniques whilst Coco’s unique geometrical abstractions add a graphic quality that compliments the whimsical nature of her illustrations.
In a palette of ocean blues, rich purple and midnight black, 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 is a covetable extension of Coco’s work as a sought after fashion illustrator.
