Although designed under Atelier E.B, The Fade to Grés blanket is actually designed by Beca Lipscombe. Artists Lucy McKenzie and Marc Camille created their own versions, and originally all three blankets were available for the public to buy. This particular blanket pays homage to the brilliant couturier Madame Grés and her perfume Cabochard (meaning stubborn in French), which was worn by the artist's mother when she was a child. Lipscombe appropriated the original perfume packaging with the year 2014 for the Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow and added Edinburgh and Brussels (where she and Lucy McKenzie both live). The idea of the blanket was to be able to wrap yourself up in scent and luxury and feel safe. Her mother only wore the scent when she was going out in the evening, which was not a regular occurrence for the single mother with two children.
