Trends Project: Alpine

The first project for BA Textiles Design (Printed Textiles) is Alpine, for this module we'll be exploring the trend of Alpine for Autumn/Winter 13/14. This trend is all about embracing nature and the great outdoors, warm and cool moods are created with a Woodland palette, playful and down to earth imagery.
Key points I will be exploring for this project are:
Rustic elements inspire finishes on hard surfaces- I enjoy manipulating the surfaces of materials and changing their properties.
Natural aesthetic, bringing the outdoors indoors- I like being around nature, peaceful walks, sitting in a park, cycling through woodland areas.

For this project I really want to connect with the colour palette, find and take photographs that reflect the Alpine colours. Those are images I found and picked out the colours that reflect the Alpine trend.

The Show

The one thing that's been drummed into my head since I started Uni, is 'always walk with a camera'. Luckily today I had my camera with me so I could capture the wonderful fashion show.

'The Show'

Roll up! Roll Up!
Step forward and bear witness to the most spectacular show of fashionable attire and accoutrements you're likely to see this side of the Gas Street Basin.

The Show, showcased this season's hottest trends and styles. As a member of the audience you were encapsulated in the magic and drama of the fashion on show. From elaborate brocades to hyperreal monochromes, woodland inspired to exotic animal feathers and furs. As an aspiring fashion designer, being able to witness this showcase was amazing. I felt so inspired and motivated to see my designs on the catwalk one day.
