Our Exquisite Corpse – Huichol Beaded Skulls

By Patternbank On April 23, 2013 · In Inspiration, Trend Forecasts

‘Our Exquisite Corpse’ teamed up with the Huichol people of western Mexico to produce these intricately beaded skulls. Each of the heavily beaded pieces has been decorated by various artists from the Huichol, using traditional symbols and designs arranged within the patterns, making every skull a completely unique piece of art. The Huichols are decendants of the Aztecs and believe in the Sun God, ancestral spirits and four principal deities – Deer, Corn, Coyote and Eagle. The Sierra Madre Mountains are their home and the Huichol have a long history of creating beaded art, which is a treasured part of their culture. Each skull is cast from resin and hand beaded onto a layer of wax. See more from ‘Our exquisite Corpse’ on their website.

Iris Van Herpen – Fashion Collides With Technology

By Patternbank On February 26, 2013 · In Trend Forecasts

Dutch designer Iris van Herpen’s stunning collection ‘Voltage’ for Spring/Summer 2013, was inspired by ‘Imaginary Beings: Mythologies of the Not Yet’ at the Centre Pompidou, Paris last spring. This collection of 3D printing by Dr. Neri Oxman,( a professor, architect, designer and artist) motivated her to collaborate with Oxman, Austrian architect Julia Koerner and 3D specialist Stratasys to produce pieces for her architectural collection. Patternbank loves the futuristic, otherworldly quality created by this truly mind-blowing technology. To see more from ‘Voltage’ and to explore Van Herpen’s philosophy behind the collection visit her website. Photography by Boy Kortekaas,Ronald Stoops and Michel Zoeter.
