Urban Lily: Kali & Vicky Schafer

We have both been artists all of our lives, always creating things whenever and wherever the inspiration struck us. Tee Shirts are something we had discussed in passing for a long time, about 8 months ago we got serious about it and started our line.

Our style is casual enough for street wear but formal enough to wear to the office with a nice pencil skirt. We create hand drawn designs and are printing limited edition apparel.

Most of my inspraition is taken from Art Nouveau. I find the symmetry and lines both modern and classic. I also am obsessed with drips, spray paint and anything "Urban". Thats how we came up with our name Urban Lily, Art Nouveau was refered to as "lily style" because of the soft curves. The word Urban came from my drip obsession, which come to think of, besides our logo, has yet to be utilized on our prints... perhaps a new design idea!....

The medium of our choice is sweat shop free apparel screen printed by a local independent. The designs are first created with a pencil and usually a sharpie or two (different widths of corse). In the future we look forward to expanding our medium by eventually embellishing our Tees with fabrics, beads, etc..

The Poppy tee was our first design, and for now seems to be one of the favorites and our best seller. Each new time we print I feel we are getting more and more creative and a learning what can really be done.

If we could dress anyone in the world it would have to be a royal 18th century woman who was willing to put on tee shirt over her corset!! Actresses, Penelope Cruze or Nicole Kidman (or any modern woman who felt the need to dress creative, unique, and professional!)
