Liberty's British Design Open Call.

Today I entered my Cottage Jungle fabric design into the Liberty's British Design Open Call event. This is an event which the company runs every year and it allows new and established designers to show their product to the buyers at Liberty and compete for a chance to have their product actually reproduced and sold on the Liberty's shop floor! To enter I needed to select one of my products and send a photograph of it. If I were successful I would be able to take my product to Liberty's, in London and have it analysed by the buyers. This would be a great chance to get some tips and feedback about my designing, making and product range.

So fingers crossed!

New work to come!

After a busy couple of months of preparing and showing my work at the degree show and New Designers I have finally had time to come back down to earth and start to think about a new project! I've decided that I'd like to stick with florals again, but this time i'm going to try my hand at a more fashion lead project. To get me started I've decided to work on a mini fashion fabric collection, following the Photographic Florals trend seen on the catwalk this summer by the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli. Bellow is a design I started yesterday, all of the blooms seen are taken from my own photographs.
