FV TREND CONCEPT : FEATURING HELEN PROUDLOCK

This week i thought i would change the trend concept for the FV blog.As i am in my final weeks of finishing my textiles degree i have been inspired by some of the 3rd year students final collections.One of the fashion fabric design students Helen Proudlock final collection is really coming along and her designs that she has created so far are very eye catching due to the vivid use of her exotic/experimental colour pallet along with the mix of innovative styled prints.She has made such a versatile collection by being experimental and using a wide range  of fabrics and  techniques such as screen printing, digital printing and the contemporary technique of sublimation printing.I have created this concept board as i think Helen prints are very inspirational and create a lot of trend directed ideas which could be translated into S/S13 future trend.

Helen Proudlock is a fresh emerging BA (Hons) Fashion Textile Designer from the UK. Her eye-catching collection of fabulously bold statement prints are clearly pattern focused, which show a interesting mix of various cultural ideas. I really love this collection and it has lots of potential to give other creative designers inspiration and trend direction. I definitely can see this trend catching on and be seen on the catwalks very soon.
