-WEDNESDAY WINDOWS-

American Apparel on East Houston St. features a capsule collection with patterns & line drawings by French artist Nathalie Du Pasquier

Placing a momentary pause on its monochromatic aesthetic, American Apparel gets graphic (in an artistic way). Creative Director Iris Alonzo invites Memphis Group alum Nathalie Du Pasquier to develop a cheery 43-piece collection inspired by the Memphis Group's wacky 80s art. Currently a painter in Milan, Du Pasquier conjures a palette of prints featuring abstract post-modernist patterns. American Apparel's Houston Street window publicly introduces the capsule collection, which the artist claims she will be wearing. Have a look at the accompanying video (after the jump).
