When readers look through the latest issue of Jalouse, which hits U.S. newsstands in the next couple of days, they'll find several pages of work by the London-based artist Kate Gibbs. "We had wanted to work with Kate for a long time, so it was natural that we chose her for this art-themed issue," says the publication's creative director, Eric Pillault, who submitted a series of photos to Gibb with the request that she transform them into silk-screen images (like this one of a Miu Miu dress, above). The result is a look-twice alternative to the Photoshop treatments that photos more typically receive. "The shoot involved lots of geometric shapes, so there was a lot to play with by adding hand-painted areas and switching things around," says Gibb, who has also worked with Stüssy, Dries Van Noten, Adidas, and the Chemical Brothers. "Some days I felt like there were only 20 colors in the world and I didn't like any of them," she added. "At which point I realized if I could just get the base color right, then the rest would evolve from there." And so it did.
