Morgan Carper – Finding Herself In Translations

A flash of insight, an inspiration, a map, a plane ticket for two, and a whole lot of frequent flier miles. This jet-setting describes a big part of Morgan Carper’s artistic process. Whether it’s to the desert Southwest of the U.S or the hills of Laos, other cultures and their artisanal means and traditions are a big part of her seasonal collections. However all is not first as it might appear. While many designers begin by being entranced by ethnic fabrics and the ancient technologies that create them, for Mrs. Carper its about finding the answer to the desire that’s already stirring within her.

Morgan Carper – Spring 2012 Review – Welcome Southwest

Morgan Carper’s Spring 2012 presentation was one of the most serene occasions this season, with clothes to match. The presentation included a background of live cacti amidst sprinkled sand and rocks, adding to the Southwestern feel Carper brought with her custom-made patterns. The designer herself exudes innate talent, a healthy soul, and a family-oriented heart, which was represented eloquently by her collection. Her inspiration, photography of the natural landscapes of Arizona during a vacation with her husband, was crystal clear with her plethoric uses of textiles ranging across leather, chiffon, silk, knits and sequins.
