In art, the term Pentimento is synonymous with an indecisive mind. An artist who isn't in control of his emotions and thoughts is nothing short of mad man.
The meaning has undergone severe modifications with time, and in "street art" parlance, the term comes handy to describe the appearance of the sides of buildings with painted advertising.
Often they are painted over with newer ads and the paint wears away to reveal the older layers.
This was whimsy Jason and Anshu's inspiration. The cluttered cityscape was closely inspected with peeled paints, exposed plaster, broken mosaic floors to create an amalgamation of perfect imperfection.
The sparkling white runway was interspersed with tiny stuffed heart cushions, to create an ambience for the
only-separates line, densely layered with a splash of colour and architectural motifs.
The harshness of architectural lines was softened with rose and heart motifs that were used as fasteners, and distressed prints.
The inclusion of straight-cut bomber jackets and trousers in a roomy dress oriented presentation added a kinetic energy to the maddening pace most cities are synonymous with.
Just like the title of the brand suggests, Small Shop has a niche audience that yearns for comfortable silhouettes crafted in taffeta and lined silk, using vivacious original prints.
The Autumn/Winter 09-10 reminded us once again why we respect this "small" brand.
