This week i was the lucky enough to become Design Focus of the Week for MDPClick, The world’s fastest growing online fashion trend forecasting service, providing retailers, brands and manufacturers with the creative trend intelligence needed to succeed, wherever they are in the world.
Something you didn't know about me ......
I studied textile design at university where i specialised in Printed and Woven Textiles that takes a sustainable approach to design, with a view to change the face of upcycled design. It was lovely to meet the team at MPDClick recently and share my design work and inspirations for future designs with them.Celebrating the use of traditional crafts, I aim to bring something new and exciting to the textile industry. “Recycled textiles often have a raw and undesirable quality so for my collection ‘Upcycle,’ I wanted to reinvent vintage fabrics by using a mix of traditional artisan skills such as screen print, embroidery and hand-loom weaves.” I create unique and individual pieces that have a strong hand-crafted feel to them.In keeping with MPDClick’s autumn/winter 12/13 trend Myriad, my most recent collection is strongly influenced by the Middle East, its heritage of craft and values of luxury and sustainability. My prints beautifully juxtapose watercolour florals with radial and geometric patterns intrinsic to Islamic design, while the colour palette combines organic tones and splashes of vibrant and lustrous shades inspired by a trip to the vibrant city Marrakesh.
My unique designs echo enthusiasm for upcycling, combined with an exceptional attention to detail, making each design individual. Watch this space for more information on my textile design work.....
