It was difficult to keep up with the demand when her distribution grew to over 50 boutique accounts here and in Europe. She says, āWorking with so many scarf prints and colors while designing my vintage line inspired me to begin designing my own silk scarf and textile prints.ā Held and her husband relocated to Palm Springs from Los Angeles in 2013. She says that her designs āare inspired by the California desert and beyond.ā Her limited-edition garments and accessories are handmade in California, using imported fabrics and silk scarves printed with her original textile designs. How does she create her products? āIām always gathering inspirationāfrom nature to architecture to runway shows to movies and on and on,ā Held explains. āWhen I design a new collection, first I put together a theme and a color palette. Next, I create original studio artwork elements by drawing and painting with gouache and watercolor.āĀ Using those elements, she creates scarf and allover fabric layouts in Photoshop. She then sketches the silhouettes and assigns fabrics to be printed with each design. After that, she drapes, sews and creates patterns.Ā ā[My designs] come 100% from me,ā she explains, adding that her vision is clear, beginning with the product and advancing to the boutique decor and the editorial campaigns for each collection.Ā Candice Held @candiceheld 9 |Ā Ethereal and Eco-Friendly Palm Springs Shoppe Guide Island Tribe Photography Provided By: Nomadic Odero Photography Provided By: Nomadic Odero Photography Provided By: Nomadic Odero Photography Provided By: Nomadic Odero Photography Provided By: Nomadic Odero Photography Provided By: Zavier De’Angelo Photography Provided By: Zavier De’Angelo Photography Provided By: Zavier De’Angelo Photography Provided By: Zavier De’Angelo Photography Provided By: Zavier De’Angelo For women who want to support efforts to preserve the environment as well as the empowerment of women entrepreneurs internationallyāand look magnificent while doing itāIsland Tribeās stunning clothing designs are for you.
