EVIL UNDER THE SUN – Atelier E.B.

Atelier E.B. have designed and produced a line of holiday wear as part of their 2013 “Ost End Girls” collection especially for ‘Evil Under The Sun’. In contrast to their usual line, which is designed for the Scottish wind and rain, this selection is inspired by their visit to Stromboli in 2012. A temporary shop will stock t-shirts, jewellery, cotton beach towels, bags and hats: everything one might need on an island holiday.

Atelier E.B. is the company name under which the artist Lucy McKenzie and the designer Beca Lipscombe sign their collaborative projects. The group was formed by Lipscombe and the illustrator Bernie Reid, who are based in Edinburgh, and McKenzie, who is originally from Glasgow. Their intention is to bring fine art criticality to the realm of commercial design and, by extension, to incorporate the expertise and pragmatism of the applied arts into the creation of art and exhibitions. Of utmost importance is their desire to work with local industry and independent producers and thinkers.
