Nice this will go good with Afrocentric or any other BP themed print. This is one of my faves of the "women" series.

I wonder why this is called Panther Power.

Also although at first glance it seems like this would be a five minute job to make, I have a feeling that down the line (3 years or so), this will seem a lot more iconic.

this print i like a lot....

but i just don't understand why shepard keeps clipping off the tops of people's heads. either crop it more or leave some space between the top of the head and the edge of the print.

i also have an uneasy feeling that we'll see another colorway next week.

i could go for this in more than 1 colorway! durn i love these women prints...

I'm guessing the purpose of the clip/crop of the top of the heads in recent designs is to break up the design into sections, so design wise you wouldn't have to deal with the Yen Pattern transitioning into the solid red.

Personally I like the direction he is going on this, its still as simplistic and I think it speaks much louder without copy on it and helps the image stand out more.

I am very happy that he didn't try and put any pattern in the face.

i think this assumption is spot-on.

I think it would be more powerful without the yen pattern and just the solid red background, similar to Mujer Fatal - Looks nice though.

Same here, and that's coming from a copywriter. I prefer the new image to the old one. The thing the old one has going for it is the orange/green and the fact it's, well, old.

i completely understand why he is doing it but i think the way he is doing it is very distracting. he should either crop it more or leave some space and work the background pattern a bit differently.

looking nice.

murk, how about a white/red combo like the majur fatale..

red, white and black

I dig this print as is. Simple and plain. Throwback to Shep's early stuff. Instant classic.
