Fred Butler

These pieces by textiles designer Fred Butler are amazing! I am really drawn to these pieces for the retro vibe they give. The colours and shapes remind me of the famous historical Mondrian piece. The lines remind me of the sin envy that I researched as they are repeated like the feathers on the wings of the eagle connoting freedom. I would wear these pieces myself because of the statement they make.

The volume on this Fred Butler piece reminds me of the sin anger, the sharp edges and straight lines remind me of the phrase "sharp tongue" during an argument. The colours on the other hand remind me of sloth as they are quite dreamy colours.

Fred Butler is most definitely one of my favourite textiles designers, every piece is unique and quirky, making statements, which I like because it reminds me of my own sense of style.
