Leanne Claxton: Scarf's for any occasion
This season we’re all about fun printed accessories. They’re perfect for making a statement or adding some colour to your wardrobe, and what better way to do that than with Leanne Claxton, a luxury lifestyle brand combing art and fashion thats suitable for any occasion all year round!
Artist and print designer Leanne Claxton grew up in Lancashire and moved to London in 2002 to complete a BA degree in textile design at Central Saint Martins. In 2005, she trained in Paris under Christian Lacroix where she discovered haute couture and the relationship between art and fashion. Since graduating, she has worked both in-house and as a freelance print designer for major brands in London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Spain.
She officially launched her brand ‘Leanne Claxton’ at London Fashion Week in February 2015 to make her artwork more accessible to everyone. She began printing her floral oil paintings onto luxury scarves and the Leanne Claxton digital luxury scarf collection was born.
The luxury scarf collection sees Leanne’s dramatic oil paintings digitally transformed and printed to the highest possible quality and finish onto the finest fabrics. Each scarf starts life as a detailed graphite sketch which is then interpreted into an oil painting and screen print. Her bespoke luxury scarves are hand-made in England and each scarf is individually painted, treated, washed and hand finished; no two pieces are the same. This is a quintessential part of her truly unique brand.
Leanne Claxton is an artist with a passion for the outdoors, delighting in natural light, alfresco painting and the rainbow of colours and intricate details that nature offers. The paintings and accessories she creates are inspired by these elements at home and on her travels.
Her website features Luxury Scarves, Claxton Classic Scarves & Unique One-Off Scarves,
Cosmetic Bags, Umbrellas and her Artwork. The brand also offers Claxton Bespoke, a custom-made service which allows the client to work directly with Leanne herself. Customers can choose artworks from her archive and decorate their piece with hand-drawn messages or initials, creating a personalised experience and product.
We loved each and every one of the brands prints. They were extremely eye-catching, very unique and the perfect accessory to compliment any outfit.
Prices range from £35-£150, artwork sold upon request.
