Oct 9, 2026
Blue Like Me is bringing Siona Benjamin's paintings to life as wearable designs for art collectors and fashion enthusiasts, including a new selection of silk shawls ideal for the autumn season.
Montclair, United States, October 9, 2026 /PressCable/ -- "Blue Like Me" an art merchandise company based in Montclair, New Jersey, is announcing a new line of hand-painted silk shawls as part of its 2026 wearable art release. The collection extends artist Siona Benjamin's colorful scene paintings into a wearable format, adding to the company's existing offerings of shawls, scarves, and tallits.

Wearable art is described by industry observers as a category shaped less by trend cycles and more by artistic intent and production quality, where pieces built around original, commissioned artwork carry a connection to their creator that mass-produced garments typically don't offer. This trend has been heavily infiltrated by AI imagery, both in the design and sale of the clothing, leading to an increased focus on provenance and quality.
That distinction helps explain why hand-painted work is often regarded differently from designs generated by automated tools. Proponents of hand-drawn and hand-painted art argue that it carries human creativity and cultural storytelling that algorithms don't replicate, and that choosing it supports the livelihood of working artists. For "Blue Like Me", this principle sits at the center of what the company says sets its silk shawls apart from other wearable goods on the market.
Siona Benjamin, the painter behind the new collection, grew up in Bombay and now lives in the United States. Raised Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India, she draws on that background to inform the "layered imagery" in each shawl design, giving the new release a narrative depth that transcends surface pattern work.
Every object from the company's collection ties to a design series, often built around themes such as seasons or elements, and the new silk shawls continue that practice. Existing series including Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Monsoon reflect the colorful design philosophy at the core of the company's offerings.
The 2026 release gives art collectors and fashion enthusiasts a way to wear original, story-driven work from Siona Benjamin instead of a generic printed accessory. Those interested can look through the broader catalog of shawls, scarves, and tallits that make up the company's wearable art line, each piece reflecting their ongoing effort to carry fine art into functional objects used in daily life.

Artist Oscar Chan examines religion, myth and trauma in haunting Hong Kong exhibition
After artist Oscar Chan Yik-long left Hong Kong for Europe – first to Paris, then Helsinki – in 2019, he did not return to the city for many years. Widely considered one of Hong Kong’s most promising young talents, Chan even missed his 2021 solo exhibition – a display of the gothic, monochrome works he is best known for – at Gallery Exit in Aberdeen, Hong Kong, because he could not bring himself to board a long-haul flight. What kept him away was fear. At the time, Chan was suffering from severe...

Why minimalist skincare is replacing the 10-step routine
Some time in the last decade the bathroom shelf turned into a filing system. A cleanser for the morning and a different one for the evening; an acid on Tuesday, a retinol on Wednesday – and a barrier cream for the two nights afterwards, while your face recovers from the first two. But at some point, people started getting tired. Not of skincare exactly, but more of the admin: the cross-referencing, the percentages; the low-grade sense that there’s a step you’ve missed and a launch you haven’t...

For 42-year-old Allison Vecchio, GLP-1 drugs were “a reset button on life”, but came at a price – with side effects like gastrointestinal distress, brittle nails and feelings of weakness so intense that at times she could not leave her bed. But Vecchio, an emergency room nurse based in Fort Pierce, in the US state of Florida, says the symptoms eased when she began a cocktail of supplements that included fibre, collagen and electrolytes, a haul that costs US$200 to US$300 a month. “You really...
