Car Print Brief

These are some of the designs that I have been working on for a brief based on vintage cars. It is for menswear so I have done some mock ups of how the prints might look on clothing. I am suprised at how much I am enjoying this style which isnt what I normally do.

Car Brief

I have been given a brief to design some prints using old car engines as inspiration. Im finding it quite hard as I dont normally do shapes and more abstract styles, I prefer to do things but Im giving it a go. I wasnt very happy with them until I photographed the drawings and now I can see how they potentially could work as prints and in patterns. Will update the progress of this soon!

Dinosaurs

 Have been really bad with drawing and design over the summer but am trying to get back into it! I've wanted to do a project on dinosaurs for ages now...think i have a bit of a penchant for deadly, human-eating animals and creatures!! These are only quick drawings and unfinished at the moment. Hopefully they will inspire me to keep going with drawing!!

Maarten Van Der Horst SS13




I love MVDHorst and have been excited for his new collection at Fashion East in LFW for a while now and it definately did not disappoint!! I know it is just coincidence but Im going to pretend that the fact he has used bats AND sharks covered in swarovski diamantes in his prints is fate that I am supposed to be working for him!! I looooove this collection its so beautiful and love how he has played with old classics and made them new and exciting like the trench coat. Also who else can make tesco bags cool on a shirt suit??? Way too much love for this!

Childrenswear



These are some examples of my designs on childrenswear, for a boy and a girl. I came to the realisation that I would like to design for menswear during this project which was a shock as I thought I was certain about being suited to womenswear. However I think it is still important for me to try out my designs on all kinds of fashion garments to show how it can be used diversely and commercially. I could see these fitting in with Mini Boden type clothes as they are also really fun and colourful.

Its so scary now that Im finished Im not really sure what to do with myself!!

Business Cards

My business cards came today and I am sooo happy with them!!
I ordered them off Moo.com and I love the feel of the cards and the colours are exactly how I hoped they would be. I only printed 200 so I have to keep resisting the urge to give them to randoms on the street!!
I also LOVE my logo that I asked my friend Kat Barcenilla to design for me its perfect for me and I feel like it really reflects my work and personality. Have a look at her lush work at www.katbarcenilla.com
 It is just over 2 weeks until deadline and it finally feels like it is all coming together! Website should be sorted this week so watch this space..and today I printed two of my final fabric lengths!

Tailored Covers Collaboration

Tailored Covers have asked Leeds College of Art Printed Textiles Students to design a tailored car cover with the possibility of it being put into production and available for commission. This is such an exciting project and one I would love to be chosen for. As my final major project is partly based on Jaws and horror movies, I thought that sharks would work well on a car cover as they are the primary fish/animal that embodies fast, dangerous, exciting and everything I imagine someone who has a beautiful, fast, exciting car to want! Here are some of my designs draped onto a car cover to show what I want my tailored cover to look like....


Hawaiian Shirts



I thought that some of my designs for Final Major Project might work well on men's shirts, which is an idea that hadn't really occurred to me before this point. I love Hawaiian shirts and they are particularly on trend at the moment with the summer trend of Miami. I am really happy with how they look as drapes.
 The shirt image is not my own.
