Safari Moon (formerly Safari T Shirts) by Maria Moscato
Safari Moon (formerly Safari T Shirts) by artist Maria Moscato started off as wearable art and play wear for children. It has now evolved into clothing for women, yoga wear and a joint venture with Wrapsody brand baby carriers.
The motifs vary from wildlife, marine life, insects, mermaids and dinosaurs. Cross styling fashion is created by combining various styles like Chinese calligraphic, primitive pictographs and petroglyphs, tribal tattoos on a clothing "canvas" that has a different nature (i.e. Indian elephant on kimono romper).
In the batik series these motifs have been creatively applied to clothing in Bali by artisans under Fair Trade conditions. Each item is hand batiked with color fast dyes and is considered a handcrafted product and piece of art. Organic cotton from Bali with vegetable dyes is also available.
Silkscreen on solid colors has been chosen for the Insect series, using American Apparel and a local silkscreen establishment. This series is sold at the San Diego Botanical Garden.
Please visit our Where to Buy page for more locations as we are delighted that our artistically inspired animal motif creations are now available in several major Zoos and Aquariums-such as the San Diego Zoo and the Long Beach Aquarium.
