Theater de la Mode

Christopher Kelly from Theater de la Mode collaborated with film maker Kathryn Fergusons to create a video for Theater de la Mode's SS10 collection. The collection is Inspired by African Finches captures the colour and light by hand painting onto jersey's (I know its not digital, but so what! I love it). Its really worth checking out the video which plays with dance, beautiful colour, geometric pattern and concept of his mens-unisex collection which adopts 'the mutual stance on mens and womens wear'.
A very modern craft.

An experimental time

The work of Topi Tijanie demonstrates the experimental era we are in with digital textiles, working with her own personal photography she plays and manipulates her images in Photoshop and further applies them onto thick rubbers and plastics using digital print technology. She pieces her plastics together to make accessories which have a modern tribal look, strong, urban but delicate. Its great to see textile designers becoming masters of photography, integrating it in their design work with true textile style showing sensitive and emotive handling of the medium and material. The digital print onto unusual and non traditional materials gives the work a cutting edge look. Watch out for Topi!

Democratizing fashion

Beta Fashion is an innovative concept in fashion recently launched this month by Joseph Nigoghossian whose aim with the new brand is to 'democratize fashion' by allowing the brand to be designed exclusively by its community. Providing a platform for young designers and the pro-amateurs to showcase their talent, running ongoing competitions with a voting system to select winners to then sell their work online.
I will be watching Beta fashion closely to see how it develops and grows. I hope my book contributes to this new movement of 'democratizing fashion' by empowering the public to be the designer and realising their designs with digital design and print.
To test the site I submitted one of my scarf designs 'Fanfair'
