Introducing Brooklyn-based illustrator Heather Pieske, and her fruit. It all began with a lonely banana left out of the fruit bowl and a chance meeting with a wayward black marker. We loved it, especially thinking to our smoothie and juicing-inspired Pre-Fall 2015 Collection, so we asked Heather if she would do a little doodling for us.
Mangoes have gone loco. Dubbed the "king of fruits," with origins in South Asia, mangoes are now the most cultivated tropical fruit in the world, boasting over 2,000 varieties in hotbeds like Mexico, India, Brazil, and the Philippines—at their best from January to August. These sweet-smelling babies remind us of our teen years, when we would obsessively collect Roxy hangtags, displaying girl surfers in hibiscus-print bikinis, bright mango flesh grasped between slippery, tanned fingers.
We've grown up a bit, but still have that penchant for mangoes and island life. Fittingly, our third installment of Fruit Art is inspired by Opening Ceremony's Resort '15 collection. Check out the marker art, made to reflect sunset vibes and our Palm Collage print, seen in a twisted placket maxi dress, and here, in an easy crewneck sweatshirt.
P.S. A useful tip: In order to ripen a mango, place it in a brown paper bag alongside an apple. Magic.
