Titled "Contemporary Still Life", the spring/summer 2015 collection from Azumi and David offers a selection of digitally printed everyday objects on luxurious materials such as silk. The inspiration for the collection came from the domestic beauty of the 16th and 17th century Dutch still life oil paintings. Azumi and David has linked past and contemporary life by creating a collection of silk dresses, scarves and bags with clear references to everyday items from back then combined with modern items. The prints mixes things like fruit, and flowers with takeaway coffee cups and smart phones. The combination of the old with the new in the prints, brings a sense of nostalgia while still looking forward and seeing how the world has evolved. All of this has resulted in a witty, innovative and aesthetically beautiful collection.
