Husmann/Tschaeni and Rittenhouse
Splashes of colour and vibrant imagery from Husmann/Tschaeni’s original artwork bring together the garments of a collaborative project with Rittenhouse. Their 2013 AW collection is titled ‘After the Rain.’
The Husmann/Tschaeni painting, the basis of the collection, was inspired by the artist’s stay in Melbourne, Australia. The duo have depicted a day spent in the Botanical Gardens: their daughter pretending to be a ghost under a blanket; the local fauna; plants growing bigger and the sky trying to produce a rainbow as the clouds become smaller.
The painting is printed in its entirety on a silk scarf with elements of the artwork featuring on a range of garment designs which make up the collection.
Husmann/Tschaeni featured in the ninth issue of fluoro magazine.
