degree exhibition photos

Happy Ashley Land

I got the train into uni with a friend I hadn't seen in a while today and he told me about the designer Ashley Williams, who graduated last year from fashion at Westminster. Her degree collection was made up of quirky, happy prints, one called the happy ashley print, and  another of a hand holding a cigarette was worn by Rihanna on her 777tour in London. Amazing.

For my major project I've decided I want to try and create my own brand 'Grapefruit and Sugar' with its own signature look - in doing this I want to do what seems popular at the moment and use the same pattern on a variety products: fashion, interiors, stationary etc. I've been gathering examples of companies who do this and some of the products they use.

Yesterday I visited the Warner Textile archive in Braintree.

I drew my above drawing before visiting, or viewing their website. I then saw wallpaper designs by Wendy Bray on display, it appears everyone likes hiding under umbrellas!
