About the print:

Welcome to the enchanting world of painter Jennifer Lanne, where everything is a richly imagined and storied daydream: swans bring love letters wrapped in silk ribbons and wild deer frolic in the woods behind lush velvet curtains. Based in rural New York, Jennifer lives on a historic farmette and creates her paintings in a centuries-old barn on her property, infusing each piece with a dreamy, timeworn quality.
Inspired by a love of antique textiles, classic motifs and the seasonal beauty of the natural world, her work has a romantic and whimsical feel that’s easy to get lost in. We’re so in love with this collaboration! Jennifer’s paintings marry perfectly with our highest intention here at Market of Stars: to create poetry you can wear.

55% linen, 45% bamboo/wood viscose. Handwash (or machine wash gentle cycle) and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Artist Pants are one-size and will fit approximately size 4/6 (S) to size 12/14 (L). General meaurements: length 86cm. Waist (flat) 84cm around, and with elastic stretched 104cm around, hips 117cm. Model is 5’9” for reference.

How To Wear

+

Dreamy and delightful — these pants are so much fun to style! The beautiful linen fabric and woodland swan imagery create a vibe that’s both relaxed and romantic. Try adding a soft, billowy blouse in ivory and a pair of ballet flats for a pretty & practical look, or play up the artsy angle with an oversized sweater, sneakers and a crossbody bag for an effortless, ultra-cool outfit. And don’t be afraid to add some colour — we love wearing these with chartreuse, aqua, copper and sage — all the colours of a fairytale forest :)

What a delight it’s been to collaborate with artist Jennifer Lanne and live in her world for a little while! Of her process and her work, Jennifer says:“My inspiration and mind is constantly beckoned to vintage. Maybe it's from creating in a centuries old barn and 1780's house that does it… or my undying love of rich and textural antique textiles, classic motifs or objects covered in layers of paint. Maybe all of that.
My barn studio is where paint hits the canvas and where paintings evolve with my trademark distressed finishes… all come from the heart.”We invite you to explore more of Jennifer’s incredible work at www.jenniferlanne.com.

The Poem

Inheritance

I left all my dreams
in the woods for you.
Curled up in tight green
cradles of fern heads, sleeping
in the mushroomed throats
of hollow trees. I tucked them
under white stones
and beneath white birds
warm in nests. I sank the dark ones
deep in bogs to rest
with bones. A few I hardened
in to amber jewels, nestled them
in antler moss. I wrote
thousands of them on leaves
that will fall
under your feet
as you walk
the path. Go by moonlight.
The ones I dreamed of you,
I sent up to the stars.
