100% DESIGN - lizzie allen

hi everybody - apologies for the delay in my posting. i had forgotten when i said i'd be back on the 24th that it was london design week's 'focus' event today. this is a show that takes place in chelsea where the big home furnishings companies launch their autumn collections. i will hopefully post some pics later in the week. the show runs until wednesday if you are in the london area. click here to see my previous focus reports. back to today and i just wanted to show these snaps taken on friday at 100% design ( another london show) of this new whimsical wallpaper from lizzie allen. lizzie was a finalist in the best new exhibitor category.
and also during this london design festival lizzie's work was also showing over at the royal festival hall shop.....
as was this beautiful design by krystal orphanides.
and these new notebooks featuring peter moro's festival hall signature design were fresh in.

I am very suprised that Lizzie Allen is getting so much praise for her blatantly heavily influenced M.Sasek book - style illustration and subject matter.

I've just looked at M.Sasek's work and I can see the plagurised element of Lizzie Allens work , she has just caught the retro boat at the right time ....Sasek work is so kitsch and clearly influences many other designers ...I think perhaps it would be honest to sight Sasek as a strong influence Lizzie , and not claim the vision all of your own.
I'm sure there will be many North London parents who will hang this paper in their little darlings bedrooms .

I have to agree, the Sasek influence cannot be ignored. Even the newspaper elements, using real scanned in ones...just like Sasek, the elongated characters and the Red buses. I love M Sasek and have all of his city books...London. New york etc. He should be credited for sure.
