We searched high and low for a suitable jungle print to use in our August 2007 footwear line. Couldn’t find one, even the swimsuit department at Bloomingdales lacked a proper jungle print! So, I found some tropical leaves and incorporated them into an idea for a jungle print, and drew this up. Of course it would be colored, perhaps a lovely midtone green for the Monstera/Philodendren leaf, and a nice earthy brown for some vines, and maybe a spot of orange for the bird of paradise… Not sure if we’ll use it, but I do like the exercise of assembling the elements and drawing it up. Can you imagine the possibilities for how the print will be used? Linings? Fabric or Canvas uppers? The possibilities…
