\"Neptune

Neptune and the Seahorses (Painting by Dr. Robert Elliott)<\/p><\/div>\n

I love hearing from the men who wear my clothes. Dr. Robert Elliott<\/a>, who has been wearing my clothes for years, sent me some paintings for Christmas! I was so excited when I opened the package and saw these watercolor sketches based on Da Vinci’s drawings. I just had to call him and thank him.<\/p>\n

I ended up telling Dr. Elliott about some of our new designs. He was intrigued by Jhane Barnes Digital, a new line featuring engineered, digitally printed garments. I explained to him that in an engineered print, each aspect of the print coincides with a specific portion of the garment, so that there is a complete synthesis between the fabric and the garment. As a painter, he appreciated the fact that digital printing allows me to design with millions of colors. And then it hit me: “Why don’t I make an engineered digital shirt out of your painting inspired by Da Vinci’s “Neptune and the Sea Horses” drawing?” I asked. He was thrilled by the idea, so I worked with one of my designers, Heidi Bender, to adapt his painting as a print.<\/p>\n

In this video, Heidi explains in detail how she transformed the original painting into a shirt.<\/p>\n

This shirt is a true collaboration between Heidi, Dr. Elliott, and me. Our design process is as important to me as the final garment. I love when people and ideas cohere into a great finished product, as they do in this shirt, Neptune. Thanks, Dr. Elliott, for allowing me to adapt your painting, and thanks, Heidi, for adding your own painterly touch.<\/p>\n

This shirt, like a number of my designs, is an exclusive item. I only produced a limited number. Currently, you can find this item at my online store: Jhane’s online store<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
