Josh Goot Spring 2010 Channels Retro Paint Programs

— October 11, 2009 — Luxury
I’m sure that the Josh Goot Spring 2010 collection wasn’t actually inspired by retro MacPaint and other primitive computing programs, but the black-and-white dot matrix prints coupled with the similarly-hued gradient patterns sure make me think of those good old days of graphics.

The Josh Goot Spring 2010 collection blended these black-and-white patterns with splashes of color in light blue, red, orange, and pink. The series as a whole is a study in contrast—but doesn’t it remind you of MacPaint just a little?
