Dusen Dusen A/W’12: Bold print heaven Stephanie AndersonOctober 19, 20122 viewsFashion0 Comments2 views The Fall 2012 lookbook by Dusen Dusen landed in our inbox today and it does not fail to satisfy us on a horrific day like today. You’ll find plenty of amazing prints in this collection from cute to quirky, there’s a dress to suit any occasion and any season for that matter. The funder of Dusen Dusen, Ellen Van Dusen was born in Washington, DC and raised by architect parents in a vibrant, creative home. As a child, she sponge-painted her own clothes with her mum; as a teenager, she altered and re-dyed thrift store discoveries; in college, through a self-directed major at Tufts University, she studied the psychology of design and the brain’s reaction to visual stimuli. After graduating, she founded Dusen Dusen, a line of universally flattering basics driven by the prints she creates from scratch each season. Her inspiration is drawn from far-flung and unexpected places, like mid-century resort architecture, Italian industrial design, Scandinavian textiles, Google maps and handwriting, but all of her production is done in the USA.
