Food and Wine by Adrianne Paerels

CREATIVE: Adrianne Paerels

CLIENT: Food and Wine

ROLE: 2D Illustration

Adrianne Paerels brings her signature illustrative warmth to Food & Wine Aspen, designing a collection of embroidered patches crafted for the festival's June 2026 event. Featuring a wine glass, a rosy-striped trout, and a custom champagne tower shaped like the surrounding peaks, the set captures the spirit of the Rocky Mountain landscape while feeling playful, sun-drenched, and distinctly local.

Each design channels adult summer camp energy through bright, summery colors and clean graphic charm. Guests at the Aspen event took home journals featuring the patch designs, as well as physical patches to customize their own apparel or accessories, transforming the artwork into a wearable, collectible part of the festival experience.
