‘Love Me, Love Me Not’
JONATHAN COHEN, SPRING / SUMMER 2019
What begins as a childhood gesture — picking petals off a daisy — becomes a visual thesis on longing and nostalgia.
The collection explores love through music, memory, and the fragile tension between desire and reality.Drawing from artists like Lauryn Hill, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, and Kate Bush, the prints form a visual language, with sheet music hand-painted into roses and daisies scanned as their petals fall away. Layered surface techniques, block printing, and embroidered Swarovski crystals reinforce the collection’s emotional weight through tactile materiality.
