An ongoing experiment in AI, authorship & labor — worn on the body. Ten core designs drawn from original paintings, refined through AI, unified by a messiness that serves as visual signature. Printed on OEKO-TEX & GOTS certified twill silk through an ethically-vetted manufacturer.
Mrs Luva Luva is the working name of a Brighton-based artist whose practice moves between painting, print, and small-run object-making. Luvaland is the commercial arm of that practice — a place where the work leaves the studio and meets bodies, wallets, and weather.
Every piece sold here began as an original painting or mixed-media work, then passed through a deliberate chain of tools — scanning, digital layering, AI refinement, print onto certified silk — that mirrors (on a tiny scale) the processes used by much larger fashion companies. The question the work keeps circling: can an individual artist play the same game as the big houses without being flattened by it?
Studios, paint tables, market stalls, spreadsheets, shipping labels, checkout flows — they're all part of the work. The site you're on right now is part of the work too.
Based in Brighton, UK. Scarves and hankies ship from here via Royal Mail, usually within 2–3 working days.

Printed on 14mm twill silk (scarves) and silk/cotton doubles (hankies), through an ethically-vetted manufacturer holding OEKO-TEX and GOTS certifications. Small runs, double-sided printing, finished by hand. Limited quantities — when a design sells out, it's gone until I decide whether to rerun it.
Every sale directly funds the next round of the experiment, and pays for the next batch of silk.
This collection is part of an ongoing essay/experiment (2024–present) asking whether an individual artist can leverage AI and global supply chains by the same rules as larger companies — rather than being displaced by them.
Ten core designs were pulled from my own paintings and mixed-media works, then iteratively refined with AI image tools. The resulting "messiness" — the seams where generation breaks down — is the visual signature of the collection, not a flaw to be hidden.
Manufacturing was sourced through Alibaba, with due-diligence on ethical certifications (OEKO-TEX, GOTS, fair labor standards) conducted with LLM assistance. The chosen supplier meets all requirements while accepting low minimum orders.
The fashion imagery extends the experiment: after shooting the scarves on my own body, I used AI to replace myself with a generated model — a small, uncomfortable gesture toward the broader erasure happening across creative industries.
