100 Looks of Summer Ivey Abitz

This collection of Ivey Abitz bespoke clothing is inspired by paintings from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco Movements that graced magazine covers, bulletins, and subway posters in Europe and the United States in the early 20th century.

Those historic paintings had a joyful and innocent feel despite the 1918 pandemic and world war looming over everyday life. The undeniable parallels between life one hundred years ago and life today resonated with me.

I looked to bold palettes and positive messages from the past for hopeful clues about how to endure the present.

In adding directives to my paintings, I chose credos that drive me in my own life and artwork. While reading the news, it oftentimes feels like the world has derailed, and I need to be reminded of the basic tenets that I believe give a life purpose and meaning.

My hope is that the clothing Ivey Abitz creates and puts into the world will be a guidepost on the path to living everyday life with intention.

Wearing Ivey Abitz is an act of defiance against the worldly woes that claw for our good humor each and every day.

My designs are cloaks of intent. They are wraps of delight. They are the arms of the warmest, most caring embrace, saying, “C’mon. Savor it. There is joy in the journey!”
