Posies & Pet Portraits: Swash FW12

I wish my pet were as cooperative as Sarah Swash and Toshio Yamanaka's whippet, Candy. For every Instagram of my cat I get a new claw mark and a tense hour of being stared at from across the room; the Swash team's dog poses for detailed watercolor portraits. Each season, the London-based designers work their precious pet into their illustrated pieces. In their latest collection Candy sits, with signature poise, among the cogs and wheels of giant clocks. Swash's prints are more painstakingly detailed than ever for fall. Sarah and Toshio have drawn each tooth and rivet, and, in the season's other floral print, every leaf and petal with next-level attention to detail. Printed onto pieces than range from silk scarves to bodysuits, the prints are like snapshots of a magical miniature world. Check out pictures of the original artwork below!
