Soft Gallery is introducing the pre-fall capsule collection made in collaboration with the London-based illustrator, Felicity Marshall. A gender-neutral capsule that conveys Far East symbols and beyond, in anticipation to OPTIMISM, the AW18 collection.
LAUNCHING JUNE 6 @11AM CET
"Given the Oriental inspiration and the overall optimistic theme of the AW18 collection, it was only natural for us to think of Felicity. We hoped this could be interesting for her too, and we are over-the-top that she has accepted to work with us on this project.” says Barbara Hvidt, co-founder of the brand.
For this special collaboration with Soft Gallery, Felicity has mainly drawn her inspiration from the Far East culture. In her own, bespoke way, she is re-creating oriental symbols and combines them with non-oriental elements in an abstract, yet perfect symbiosis of colors, lines and shapes. Impossible turned possible - the collection conveys an abundance of optimism and free vivid spirit.
“I feel the four amazing artworks Felicity has created for Soft Gallery have both a classic and modern feel. I love the way she takes classic oriental motives to a new level with a Memphis style twist. The color palette of lemon yellow, teal, lilac and soft pink alongside with the primary colors are refreshing and cheerful.” says Barbara.
Felicity Marshall’s illustrations are printed on t-shirts, sweaters and tote bags. The collection differs from the traditional Soft Gallery size and runs on sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 & 14y.
The capsule will be exclusively launched on the 6th of June online and in store with Storm.
