COSABELLA INTRODUCES THE 2012 SPRING COLLECTION Visions and colors Claude Monet and the gardens of Giverny In Spring our Cosabella woman takes off on an exceptional journey of the Dolce Vita. Through the visions and colors of impressionist artist Claude Monet and the gardens of his famed country side estate Giverny, she expects a life of fulfillment in embracing and enjoying every single moment of every single day. Spring’s color ways, cultivated from Monet’s series of over 250 paintings entitled Nymphéas (Water Lilies), embrace his use of a color palette consist- ing of pure light colors. Through growing blindness, Monet never lost sight of the beauty of his garden and of his lilies. It was in this moment of blindness that he expressed his own Dolce Vita on a pastel canvas with strokes of color genius. Enhanced by Cosabella’s palette of bold pastel bases, the vivid contrast of color splashes ignite the canvas of Spring 2012. Different shades of the same color to depict the effect of intense colour vibration was a key technique of the Impressionist movement and it is exemplified with Spring’s Sweet Lilac with Bright Lilac, Guava with Flame Orange and Vetiver with Mint. Nature was the composition of Impressionism and Monet’s love of nature is displayed in his soft weeping willows, paths lined in floral bushes and of course water lilies laying still atop a refective pond at noon and at sunset. This love of nature is interpreted in Spring 2012 with the use of natural cotton, pima and modal fibers in Giulietta, Milli, Dolce Vita, Ever and Venus and highlighted by the unique embellishments of cotton mesh in Adry and an all cotton semi sheer embroidery in Lucia. Nature’s most beautiful dancers, the colorful garden butterflies, are immortalized in Farfalla. Prints presented also embody the Impressionist spirit of Dolce Vita in color and painting techniques. The shade black, void in Impressionist work is substituted with the mixing of complementary colors to create darker shades. Milli’s vintage 1880’s print displays this experiment. Also popular was the use of short thick brush strokes to quickly capture the essence, beauty and movement of the subject matter. Broken color and rapid brushstrokes are demonstrated in prints Violet in both floral print and the abstract stripe, Lourdes and Farfalla each tying into the impressionist philosophy of focus- ing on the subject and distributing color and not on the minute details. A world of soft, bold, vivid, beautiful, broken and rapid strokes and experiences painting an expression of nature and all of its beauty, without getting lost in the details…..this is her Dolce Vita.
