Urban Observations: A Journal

Fall Fashion Market

Mystique...

2010-09-22T11:30:00.000-07:00

Introducing three new designs at the Fashion Denver Fall Fashion Market...

Hand Stitching...

2010-08-19T10:28:00.000-07:00

I am thinking about trying to branch out of only screen printing on tees... I found this image of hand stitched wool, this would make a great accent to a screen printed pattern on a shirt. Maybe flower leaves or even our logo cut out and stitched on a sleeve...

I feel exciting things are to come!....

Gone Fishing...

2010-07-18T18:44:00.000-07:00

Fish, Fish, Fish... I don't know what it is about fish but I have a serious obsession lately (maybe I'm mercury deficient!!)

I google fish, I took a trip to Petsmart, I eat tuna for lunch, sushi for dinner, and salmon is absolutly delicious on the grill (and low fat!!!) Most impotantly, I cant stop thinking about a fish tee (maybe for kids, or even a skirt for women)

I would get a goldfish if I knew my cat wouldnt eat it...

I found a fabulous wallpaper image at work last week and it has inspired this whole craze... I even love the colors, soft shades of blue, I think fish would be beautiful printed on a flowing fall knee-length skirt, maybe paired with a light weight sweater or cardigan...

A BIG FAT THANK YOU

2010-07-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came to support Urban Lily at our first show!!!!...

We look forward to hearing from all the connections we have made, and doing another show soon. Here are some Pics from the Show...

I want to let everyone know that we are printing our next round of designs in the next couple weeks... Ive said it before, and Ill say it again... We keep getting better and better, more and more creative!!! Be sure to check out Fashion Denver for the new designs...

Together we are unstoppable!

2010-05-25T19:35:00.000-07:00

So I just picked up our newest prints, and they look AWESOME!
Heres to a great local print shop and some inspiration... Together we are unstoppable!!!
Keep posted, tee's coming soon...

At it again...

2010-05-17T10:27:00.000-07:00

So after a long, what almost seems like a never ending winter... I'm finally at it again! Our designs are only getting better and better. I am not only excited for the things we are doing now but also for the things yet to come....

We get more and more creative each day. This necklace style tee shirt was the original inspiration behind our newest tee design... I found it very challenging to learn draw jewels.... but after months of practice, I would say I'm an expert! (almost)

I will be taking a trip to our favorite local screen printer today to drop off our new designs.... designs that I personally cant wait to put on!!!!!

We have a new source for our tee shirts, and ladies, they fit like a dream! Flattering for any figure! We are also broadening our horizons this time by not only printing tee shirts but also some leggings.... and lets face it, who doesn't love a fabulous pair of leggings!!!

We will be displaying our creations at Fashion Denver. Come check us out... June 1st!

Art Nouveau Jewelry

2009-10-15T17:39:00.000-07:00

Images: Rene' Lalique, hair comb with ivy leaves, France 1902-1903 and Charles Desrosiers Brooch, Paris, France 1901

My next tee design is inspired by art nouveau jewelry. I love the symmetrical elegance of the designs. I am hoping to create something casual to wear everyday but that would also look great under a suit for work. Creating a similar beauty as seen in the actual jewelry may prove to be a bit of a challenge using only one color and 2 dimensions... A challenge I look forward to conquering.

Mucha Inspired Logo

2009-10-03T10:47:00.000-07:00

This is our logo. An original design inspired by the Art Nouveau movement in Paris at the turn of the century. I love Alfonse Mucha and Aubrey Beardsley, also graffitti (a drip obsession!).

Sweet Beginnings

2009-10-03T10:31:00.000-07:00

Beginnings...with an "s"...oh yes. That's life, starting over and over again! Urban Lily is one of our best beginnings yet. A fine collaboration of female minds and creativity. Check back often. This journal is our journey...inspiration and ultimate creation of a line of limited edition boutique tee shirts. You will love them so much they will have to be "pryed from your cold dead fingers". We promise!
