This weekend, I’ve been at a conference in Dallas. (All you Dallas girls out there, please note that I’m seriously considering moving down here.)
One of the presentations was by a team from Lilly Pulitzer. The video they showed was about how they made the prints for the spring collection. I really loved it. Mackenzie and I both were ready to drop everything and run to the nearest art supply store to paint. (Actually, don’t be surprised if you find out that we’ve painted directly on our walls back in NYC… it’s happening.)
The lunch was lots of fun and it got me totally thinking about summer and short shift dresses and beaches.
How much fun are these old Lilly ads? I’d love the consistency of the styling and how the dresses are more or less the same.
I think this one is amazing!!! Can we all just find a way to jump into this picture a la Mary Poppins style?
This is a newer advertisement, but it has a great vintage feel. (And it’s sassy.)

Are you gearing up to bring out your Lillys?

the ads are amazing ♥ I love the three kids!
very cool video! seems like a fun conference! 🙂
Love the video! Makes me want to head to the art store, too 🙂
Love the vintage ads! I'd totally love to get some and get them framed and hang them up… so pretty!
I love older ads!!! It's interesting to see the differences from back then to the ones now. And we'd love to have you here in Dallas!!!
I love vintage ads! The one with the little girls is so sweet and charming.
I love the new lilly stuff, and move to Dallas! It's great down here warm weather plus the city is undergoing so much urban revival its a great place for any young person to be!
Love all the old ads! I am a big marketing nerd and really appreciate it hahah! I HAVE been waiting to bust out the Lilly. It's been warm here forever, but I have a white Lilly I refuse to wear before memorial day (northern upbringing.. i don't know?) and a new halter dress from the new year sale I haven't quite found the occasion for.
Looks like you had a great time in the big D! I love seeing the behind the scenes video of Lilly…I thought I've seen them all, but not this one! As a Florida girl and a textile designer-Lilly is pretty much a goddess to me:)
Check out my blog and some of my artwork!
