Jolly Juli
Fusing a love of painting with her textile-construction skills, Julianne Fuchs-Musgrave produces bags, hats, and clothing that materialize as unique pieces of Wearable Art. The collection demonstrates both a creative approach to fashion design, and an environmentally positive ethic. With that intent, Julianne Fuchs-Musgrave has become a network member of the Ethical Fashion Forum Network, at: http://www.ethicalfashionforum.ning.com/
Reclaimed leather and suede, natural cotton and vintage textiles are the base for each piece of the collection. Every piece incorporates painting in some way, from abstract works on leather, full paintings on canvas, or collage-piecing to become impressionist works. Abstract paintings are created on base materials with acrylic paints & inks, then finished with a permanent glaze before being constructed into bags, belts or apparel.
Each work is meticulously finished. Bags are fully lined with hand-dyed cottons or other natural textiles. Apparel is lined or French-seam finished. Hardware and trims are selected for both artistic design and function. Commission orders are always welcome. Any piece displayed on the website can be customized in size, material, and color scheme.
The collection is sold exclusively on her website, http://www.jollyjuli.com, and select boutiques. Commission orders are welcome. Any piece can be customized in size, material, and color scheme.
