harlequin romance
October 8, 2007 2:31 pm
The decadent minxes and modish harlequins that made an appearance at Miu Miu last night come from the pen of Swedish illustrator Liselotte Watkins, who’s also worked with MAC and Absolut and whose drawings have been featured in Wallpaper magazine. Apparently, it was all a bit of a last-minute deal. As Watkins told a Swedish Web site this morning, the Miu Miu team called her just ten days ago after spotting her illustrations in a book, and she didn’t even see the clothes, which feature portraits of cool girls-about-town, such as Pop co-founder Stefania Malmsten and Maria Eriksson from the Concretes, until after the show. Not that she’s complaining. “When a company like Miu Miu calls and says that Miuccia likes your stuff, you go, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you for noticing me.’ You don’t demand to see anything in advance.”
