Bayou Shorts - Logo-a-Go-Go™ Print

Pattern released in 2019

The year was 1970. Life was groovy. Some folks in town thought it would be cool to celebrate the cradle of jazz with a little festival. Mahalia came. So did Ellis, Snooks, Pete, Al, Clifton and Fats; Duke too. But not too many others - only 350 witnessed that first Festival. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. With attendance now in the hundreds of thousands, the Festival still pulses with a New Orleans’ downbeat.

In 1970 Pop Art was dominant. Pucci reigned supreme in fashion with psychedelic swirls of color. Theresa Davis-Shea puts herself in that 70's frame of mind to riff off Jazz Fest's logo. Updating a mid-century palette with luscious 21st century colors and patterning Jazz Fest’s bell-bottomed Grand Marshal logo in an echoing beat that moves as it grooves, Davis-Shea has created the finest textile we've ever offered.
