Design Autopsy #8: Baroque and Roll website
By Destroyx | March 4, 2010
As I was compiling my portfolio of freelance design work I’ve undertaken over the last year, I came across a project that I had a lot of fun doing for my uber talented friend Emily for her rockabilly fashion label Baroque and Roll.
Logo design which I tweaked to improve legibility.
Emily has a very strong design aesthetic (as well as an obsession with the Cramps and the colour slime green) that she carries through all of her collections. Thus in my design for her website, I tried to extrapolate her personality and design sensibility into my illustrations. For her ‘tales from the deep’ collection look book, I very much enjoyed designing a range of b-movie inspired sea monsters to complement the tentacle motif that Emily incorporated into her range. It was also amazing to collaborate with the brilliant talents of Zeiko Nedic who photographed the gorgeous Mishella Fortune for the look book.
It’s always awesome to support independent designers, so please take the time to check out the Baroque and Roll facebook page for the latest news about the label. For all you burlesque bunnies, tentacle lovers & ladies that like their liquor hard and their men bad, Baroque and Roll is the label for you!
p.s. If you are in Sydney, this weekend Baroque and Roll is showing 4 collections at the Sydney Tattoo and Body Art Expo (2:20pm Sunday 7th March)

I came across Baroque & Roll via The Fashionate Traveller (a friend of yours, I believe), and was smitten with the line. It’s great to see two bright & bold minds working together!
