Geometry - A Collaborative Collection by Ruby Star Society

"When it’s time to create a collaborative collection, we use a process we jokingly call “Shark Tank”. We each put together a mood board for a group collection, and then we pitch our ideas to each other in a group meeting. After discussing all the options and deciding together which collection we’re most excited about, we go straight to work on making art. The designer who pitched the winning idea will art direct the collection, and help to pull it all together."

For the collaborative collection Geometry, Melody pitched an idea to the designers to do a group of simpler, vintage-inspired, hand-drawn prints that include geometric elements like lines, stripes, and dots. She imagined something with the vintage vibes of double knit polyester fabrics (the designs are so good even though the fabric is so bad!) but all drawn by hand, and put through the filter of the RSS designers. The designers spent a little over a month working together, submitting way more ideas and colourways than are used in the final collection. Melody helped narrow everything down and tie all the colours together at the end.
