Catalina Estrada’s artwork for Anunciacao‘s Summer & Winter 2011 collections marks the eighth and ninth times she has collaborated with the elite Brazilian fashion label.

For summer, Catalina’s textile prints explode with bright, blooming colors and her trademark florals, drawing inspiration from peacocks, swans and our other feathered friends. While one can see similar influences in her winter textiles, a darker color palette and more geometric elements make it stand apart from her previous work. Both are available now.

Target is bubbling over with cheerful springtime goodness as in-store marketing and POP featuring Catalina Estrada’s kaleidoscopic Easter artwork blanket the nation’s stores. The entirely un-traditional approach to Easter places the chocolate bunny as the star in a candy-colored world of Catalina’s intricate yet whimsical images and patterns. The Easter theme lights up the entrance and seasonal department and travels throughout the store, popping up in the card department and other areas. The Easter theme also includes Target exclusive Hershey and Godiva chocolate Easter bunnies with packaging by Catalina, and the spring kids direct mail catalog featuring her illustrations on the cover and interior.
