Find some contemporary designers - Where did they get their inspiration from?
Craig Lawrence
For his latest collection, Spring 2010, Craig Laurence has been inspired by a number of different factors. Firstly, the future. As with several designer’s these days he has considered and experimented with a futuristic look. The future is totally unknown and this gives designers a lot of freedom. They can try-out many different techniques with more technical methods and fabrics that are not overly popular at present.
He has also inspired by the environment and the continued awareness of our diminishing resources. His collection won’t biodegrade, he wants it to last forever and be used by generation after generation.
Johanne Kappel Anderson
Johanne Kappel Anderson is an MA Fashion graduate from the Royal College of Art.
Her graduate womenswear collection ‘Raised like a Bird’ was inspired by Magpie’s. She had the idea to create a collection on the imaginary life in a magpie’s nest. She included idea
s about silver spoons, metal pieces and keys into prints, shapes and beading. Elements such as a speckled bird egg and the magpie’s black eye appear as details and prints. This collection is heavily inspired by nature.
Chunky knits have been popular recently as winter approaches, either as snuggerly tight knits or a stylish open weave to show a bit of skin. Crop tops and capes are very on trend which easily add interest to an outfit and can be casual or dressy. One-shouldered dresses and tops are extremely popular along with textures such as velvets and lace.
