Known for her interest in the transference of language into a visual form, Banner’s work, such as ‘Break Point’ and ‘Don’t Look Back’, forms narratives across the collection, from cascading text prints across floor length skirts, jumpsuits and shirts, to punctuation detailing on oversized jersey t-shirts. In addition, Banner has created a custom ISBN (International Standard Book Number) for this collaboration that features throughout the collection. A first for Mother of Pearl, this ISBN officially classifies the SS12 collection as an internationally recognized publication.

A fresh palette of mint and lime greens, pastel oranges, petrol, electric and pale blues are juxtaposed against muted stones, creams and blacks. Banner’s inky, illustrative prints add a gestural energy and depth to the clean colour palette. A colour scheme perfect for our 'Sharp' trend direction for Autumn Winter 2012-13, where we see a mix of well defined colours that have both a modern and retro feel to them.
