Luke Archer's Natural Markings




Luke Archer Patterns

In the world of composition, inspiration and random pen marks, Luke Archer excels at all. His style incorporates natural stone surfaces, silhouettes, tools and machines to create uniquely patterned prints. Subtle and texture-filled, Archer’s style is reminiscent of a moving wave in the fashion world – one that cues the 80’s and early 90’s. It merges old school marbling techniques with clean-edged geometry – and brands like Acne, Aritzia and American Apparel have all been a part of resurrecting this style. To deep dive into Archer’s portfolio, click here.

Tribal Packaging with L'Occitane




L’Occitane’s recently released a limited edition line of beautifully marked shea butters inspired by the scents of Africa. The markings are reminiscent of Aboriginal design, though specifically reference West African traditional Bogolan fabric. I snapped this shot in the Marais yesterday. The collection’s vibrant and a beautiful interpretation of these mud markings.
