Kevin Morosky X Oh My Love Stephanie AndersonOctober 6, 20100 viewsdesignFashionStyle3 Comments0 views Visual artist and photographer Kevin Morosky has collaborated with East London label Oh My Love on a capsule collection of printed clothing. Created by Morosky, the print features flamingos and pineapples, symbols of core themes that run deep in Morosky’s work: love and women. The Flamingo is an homage to American artist Don Featherstone, who in 1957 created the plastic pink Flamingo, one of the most famous lawn ornaments in the U.S.A. Don and his wife Nancy have been dressing alike for over 35 years. Morosky says: “I love that this old couple go fabric shopping together; creating matching shirts and dresses not for fashion, but for love.” The Pineapple, meanwhile, transports Morosky back to childhood summers and visits to Brixton Market to buy the very same fruit; hazy memories of hot summer days, cold drinks, shorts, and, most importantly, the women who raised him – his Mother, Aunt, and Grandma. “Women are everything, which is why Oh My Love was the perfect collaboration. Women are Gods; it’s about time we all started to admit this, and celebrate it!” The print has been made into a loose fitting playsuit, a wrap-over dress and a co-ordinating T-shirt and shorts set that were all manufactured in London. The capsule collection is now live here.
