Part 2 of Jody’s collaboration with Carolyn Kenrick continued where they left off with Toy Soldier. Jody decided to give the display a fresh spring/summer vibe while keeping elements of the toy soldier project, such as the original archway and toy soldiers, as the canvas.
Carolyn’s creativity flourished as she created a new artwork featuring clouds and captivating eyes. Inspired by her vision, Jody brought it to life with 2 stunning new outfits. The crocodiles were replaced with a beautiful deer, some of the toy soldiers returned to base, and the clouds were adorned with raindrops.
Embarking on a new chapter at my new shop, I aimed to make a lasting impression by introducing an unprecedented window display. The idea of bringing a captivating collage to life, transforming imagination into a tangible spectacle, felt like the perfect way to set the stage for this exciting new era!
Jody describes some of her processes below:
I’m excited to reveal Part 2 of my latest collaboration with the talented Carolyn Kenrick! We’ve given our window display collaboration a fresh spring/summer vibe while keeping elements of the toy soldier display, like the original archway and toy soldiers, as our canvas.
Carolyn’s creativity soared as she created a new artwork featuring clouds and captivating eyes. Inspired by her vision, I brought it to life in a stunning new dress. We also replaced the crocodiles with a beautiful deer.
With passion driving every stitch, I crafted a maxi dress made from bamboo viscose and had Carolyn’s artwork printed on it with the help of the super-talented Diego De Nicola. To add a touch of magic, I adorned the scene for window a with floating clouds embellished with tiny rain-like beads.
In the adjacent window, a charming toy soldier gazes in wonder at the resting deer. Behind them sits a camellia bonsai inside the tunnel. To complement the cute scene, I selected a playful pink playsuit adorned with patterns designed by fabric designer Mirjam Aigner, adding a sense of fun to the story.
