Le Preppy Papillon de Thatchers’

Location: Clayton, The Crescent

Sponsor: Husch Blackwell

Artist: Becky Smith

Becky is an innovative business woman who’s company, Thatchers Fine Timeless Fabric, has brought color, wit and whimsy to the design world. She has, in collaboration with the Skandalaris students from Washington University, brought that same sophisticated spirit to life in Le Preppy Papillon.

Inspiration:

“Le Preppy Papillon” was a collaboration of love and generosity. Washington University students of all disciplines came together throughout the dreaming, drawing, painting, embellishing and naming stages. Our inspirations were drawn from the lovely designs of Leigh Martin Hooten, original artist for Lilly Pulitzer and Thatchers' Fine Timeless Fabrics.

We thank everyone who helped with “Papillon”! Thanks to Leigh Martin Hooten, Dean Buzz Spector, Lindsey Stouffer, Gene Malson, Becky Dale, Victor Thomas, Julia Wu, Miriam Keller, Alex Heil-Chapdelaine, Naronk Hompluem, Lana Hompluem, The Skandalaris Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, and Washington University. Many hearts gave freely for our butterfly to emerge!
