Indigo Paris: A look back at the Spring Summer 15 collections

Aquatic and exotic flora and fauna stood out amid geometric and abstract designs for this spring summer 15 edition.

A return to drawing, to the human and artistic hand, with highly detailed repeat motifs created with tools as varied as they were complementary:

Water-coloured but outlined florals, in photographic tracing papers and handled in a new way, mini naive patterns outlined in felt-tip and pencil-shaded, geometric lines mixed with charming figuratives.

Hand gestures are also translated in a more pictorial manner, with a return to painting: large, brush-stroked flowers, gouache portraits and landscapes...

But above all there is a marked return to the stroke, the line, more or less hastily sketched: narrow or thick, multiple and scribbled or single and airy, loosely drawn or controlled.

Plays on diffractions and prisms continue to be quite present, updated with inventive new compositions blending abstract and figurative, floral and linear, jungle and urban, plays on materials and textures, ethnic and futuristic.

All these themes could be found at many exhibitors including Eye Dazzler, with their portrayals of pink flamingos in all-over on a turquoise ground, birds and butterflies in kaleidoscope motifs, and King Kong in 3D set amid the New York skyscrapers.

Or at Garreau Designs, whose collection featured many rich proposals, from drawn and painted to digital and futuristic.
