It is hot. The heat echoes in the warm red, orange and golden sketchbook pages. The deep blue pool seems to be able to still the craving for some coolness. A late summer afternoon dream. The leaves in the shadow wrap themselves around my body, embracing my shapes of femininity. A bold brushstroke playfully finds its way and bursts into a wild torch ginger. Bloom! A flower to OY!
The a flower to OY print was developed for OY Surf Apparel for the summer collection 2020 — The authentic you. The fit of the bikinis and one-piece swimsuits (Bikini Bottom «Rio») ensure our familiar support and at the same time more comfort.
Also part of the collection is the Bikini top Elin and the Swimsuit Kaja
And this is how the print on the Bikini Bottom «Rio» looked like and evolved:
A Flower to OY
A blank page in the sketchbook. Valerie Lipscher explores the white sheet through applied color areas: orange follows a warm red, golden color shimmers in the spaces in between. It’s hot in the studio – the longing for refreshment comes up and is reflected in the choice of colors. A cool and deep blue. A pool? On the edge of it, Valerie places a woman and loses herself in the ornamentation of her bathing dress. Suddenly green plant leaves grow wildly into the sketchbook pages. In their midst, the torch ginger’s deep red blossom grows and blooms.
About the same time, Zelia Zadra is looking for new designs for the upcoming OY swimwear collection. Through mutual friends, they get to know each other. Zelia likes the wildness and color intensity of the torch ginger right away. The two women unite and transfer the drawing onto fabric. Together they develop a design in which the wild leaves and the blossom nestle up against the female body and emphasize femininity in all its facets: The fiery red of the blossom, the cool caressing nature of the plant leaves make the summer dream longing to soothe heat with cool wet and just wait for that jump into the blue.
