The Fantastic Menagerie is a Trend Setter

Was just going through the pages of WGSN [Worth Global Style Network] today as part of my research for the next couple of seasons in Menswear, and they had a mood board.

On the mood board were two cards from the Fantastic Menagerie, beside which, was written 'Tarot Cards'.

Was very nice to see and thought I would let you all know. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a link as the membership to view the site is about £15,000 [I am told] so it probably wouldn't work.

But pleasant to know that out of all cards they could have chosen, they picked those, rather than the more obvious packs.

LB would you quit going on and on and on about this deck in so many threads? Seriously you are making me gonna want to order it and I can't afford it!


Ah but I do want it sooooo badly. After falling very madly in love with MR's Fairytale Tarot and VR, I've been drooling over this one. I do have the Victorian Flower oracle and that has some wonderful animals in it as well. I wasn't sure at first I would like the all animals aspect or it might be silly, but I adore this sort of art and the more I look at them, the more depth I see. But I should have expected no less from them!

Oh, oh, oh, any chance of a screen shot please? I have been trying - er, a little unsuccessfully, to explain this to Alex. A visual would really help (he's just wandered off muttering "weird" so I think my explanation was a bit hopeless!)

Let me go have a look and see if I can find it again Karen. But I can't post here as not a subscriber. So I will have to send it to you some other way.

Give me five mins and I will see what I can do. Got to remember where I saw it now, hehe

LB

Thank-you, I'd really appreciate that.

Trying.

On the research page, it says:

The Fantastic Menagerie Tarot
Tarot card and book set traditionally illustrated with witty but often macabe images.

Am trying to find the images.

LB

I noted down your address Karen.

My home laptop is soooo slow, so if I can't find it tonight [can't remember exactly where it is, but you are in good company - Mark Ryden is also there], I will definitely look through at work in the morning, where it will be faster and easier. And then mail the screen shot.

LB - make an image, post it on a site like photobucket (FREE !) and then post a link

I have it - with thanks to LB. Goodness, it seems we are part of a graphics trend for 2008/9. Hmm - I suppose that must be good. Well, I am not sure if I can post this here but it's on my blog:

Golly gosh!
