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.
