Awareness 1: James Jean

James Jean Prada Collection: 2018 is something especially important to me. I follow James Jean on Instagram and I really like how his work is almost liquid. He mainly makes prints-- and is popular for them-- but when I saw that he designed a Prada line, I realized that if you become famous for one thing you can still branch off. While I didn't like all of the clothes in the fashion show because they had weird cuts, the accessories were my favorites. He had so many shoes and purses and things and they were all decorated with his art! Since Prada is a world-known brand, his work on fashion could become trendy. Today, personalized clothing such as jackets with patches or embroidery are popular, so his line being as unique as it is continues this. The way his art has fine lines and pastel colors makes me want to make my art look cleaner too. Although, I realize he uses computer programs, making it easier to make those lines. His bunnies and floral backgrounds are motifs he uses often, and make me look out for repeating patterns in other works. Reflecting on this post later, the floral backgrounds make me think of arabesques, which we are learning about now in Global. However, Muslims are not allowed to draw/make art with living things, so the bunnies would not fit in that idea.
