AN INTRODUCTION
There exists a Scottish-based design duo who tell tales through their artistic fervours. Iain MacDonald and Anna Victoria Thorn who graduated from Gray’s School of Art in 2012, are known as Naromode, which translates into ‘narrative fashion’.
‘The White Snake’ is Naromode’s debut collection, inspired by tales of folklore written by The Brothers Grimm. It’s a tale about a servant who tasted the King’s White Snake, which only the King was allowed to eat. In doing this, he discovered the snake gave him powers to communicate with animals.
Naromode have successfully fostered the spirit of collaboration; each designer has a different style of mark making and illustrative capability which brings to the collection a rawness and edge brought about by two separate immersed imaginations and their resulting interpretations.
