London-based print artist Lisa King has created an exclusive capsule
collection of T-shirts in collaboration with the London Flower School to
raise funds for the capital’s dance community.
The limited-edition unisex T-shirts feature flower photographs by
Marcelo Deguchi, London Flower School’s in-house photographer, with the
designs chosen to question the notion of beauty and imperfection in nature
and humanity, through the medium of print and floristry.
The T-shirts are produced in the UK and made from 100 percent organic
cotton, echoing the brand’s philosophy on conscious manufacturing and
sustainable efforts, as each piece is made-to-order to reduce waste and
minimise their environmental impact.
In addition, the printing process used for the T-shirts uses zero
wastewater to make it inherently more environmentally friendly than both
traditional screen print and other digital printing methods in the
industry, added the brand in a statement.
The T-shirts are available directly from Lisa King for 75 pounds each
and 10 percent of proceeds will go towards supporting London’s dance
community, through donations to the Dancers Network relief fund, as well as
workshops and partnerships with individual dancers.
Lisa King, born and raised in Bangkok, is a graduate in textile design from
Central St. Martins, and assisted director William Baker before launching
her eponymous label in 2013 with her signature ‘Screw print’ scarves in
London.
