Award-Winning Artist Launches Exotic Fine Art Prints on Luxury Fabrics
Stunning Fashion Range Perfect For Leopard Print Addicts Everywhere
Daphne Stephenson, renowned for her Primitive-Naive style of Art where she paints energising and uplifting Exotic Jungle scenes with mesmerising eyes and expressions, is launching her first fashion collection on 9thNovember at the Kelling Design Showroom, SW10.
She is making her stunning collectors art available to be worn and the results have been better than she had hoped for. Walking down the Kings Road wearing her flowing matching pantaloon, tote bag and silk scarf, she was stopped five times and asked where her bright and bold clothing came from.
"Daphne's bold choice of colour is reminiscent of Hermes. Likewise, her Rousseau-esque finely detailed Jungle paintings are complimented by their intriguing subject matter of fantastical trees and flowers, prowling leopards and chirpy birds. She has chosen to transpose the unique subject matter of her paintings from canvas onto silk and other materials. Her stunning silk kimonos with their bold quirky designs are effectively walking pieces of art." Val Barnes June 2023
Stephenson's showstopping and jaw dropping exotic art (as one happy customer called it) has been transformed into moving merchandise bringing colour and life back, with a reminder and concern for the protection of wildlife, which is a cause close to her heart.
She has an abundance of experience in the Art and Design world having worked for numerous well-established companies like being In-house Designer for Halcyon Days, before launching out on her own as a solo artist 20 years ago.
She has exhibited at ING Bank in the City, The Royal Academy, Agora Gallery in New York, Masterworks Museum in Bermuda and numerous other galleries with her largest collection of 14 paintings hanging in Lyford Cay, The Bahamas, owned by Debby Brice from the original Lehman Brother family. Her work has been bought by other bankers and Royal Families in Britain and Holland.
To celebrate the official launch of the fashion merchandise collection, a launch event will be hosted at Kelling Design with details below:
