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.

“Forget me not” is the latest project of talented French illustrator Coco. This collection of silk accessories has been presented during the last Paris Fashion Week. It basically consists of a series of digital prints on soft accessories – mostly scarves (all 100% silk). As an extension of her work as an illustrator (www.cococopit.biz), Coco’s designs are based exclusively on personal compositions and all elements have been hand-drawn. As well as scarves, Coco is also collaborating on a small line of Couture head accessories (turbans, hats and headbands) with Yasmin Rizvi whose talent has already been met with critical acclaim. Yasmin has just received the On|Off’s Visionary Award in September 2008 and she was The Hat Designer of the Year 2008 (www.rizvimillinery.com). ”Diamantiferous’‘ is the title of this first collection. The prints are based on a series of three sets of drawings, all dedicated to the association of various gems and creatures – birds, insects and butterflies, as well as female faces. These all are a trademark of Coco’s fashion illustration work. Do not hesitate to contact her on forget-me-not.me for more information.
