Pip continues her journey through India, and after a lively week at the markets of Delhi, she searches for a place full of peace and new inspiration. At a temple, painted with the most beautiful motifs, ideas come naturally and her thoughts drift to her father and her childhood in Zeeland. To the grey sea, the straight horizon and swans gliding calmly and gracefully across the water. That memory forms the inspiration for her latest collection: The Swan's Gift, in which her journey through India and cherished memories of home come together in every detail.
The Swan's Gift is all about the interplay of prints, materials and refined details. Soft qualities such as fine rib velvet and satin are combined with sturdy canvas, giving every fabric its own character. Cotton embroidery adds subtle, stitched details, while velvet ribbons provide a soft, rich finish. Woven jacquard also plays a special role: the pattern is truly woven into the fabric, giving the design extra depth and texture.
What's typically Pip is the way all these elements are brought together. Different prints are allowed to sit side by side, textures are layered over one another, and soft materials are deliberately mixed with bolder qualities.
In Darjeeling Days, memories of graceful swans come together with the rich atmosphere of India. Amongst lush greenery and refined temples, the swans move calmly through the design, giving the print an elegant, almost dreamy look. The combination of nature, architecture and subtle details gives the print its layered character, so you keep discovering something new.
Mumbai Morning brings a vibrant flower world to life, full of imaginative shapes and graceful details. The different flowers and refined accents playfully flow into one another, giving the print a fresh, cheerful look. At the same time, the elegant lines and rich detailing bring that typical refinement so characteristic of Pip.
Rosa Rani takes you to a colourful world full of graceful flowers, refined patterns and surprising details. The rich shapes and warm colours playfully flow into one another, giving the print an almost dreamy look. It's the combination of decorative motifs and small details that means there's always something new to discover.
