The Final Designs

After all my research and influences, I have come up with my final designs that will be entered into the competition SizeSmall. Below is an image of my final ideas, one girl and one boy.

For the competition we were also asked to include a couple of variations of each garment, these can be found in my gallery section above.

Here are a few individual briefs that I have personally looked at for this project, Peaceful and Joyous. For my designs, as I have said in previous posts I have taken the blues and greens from these colourways. I feel that these colours fit nicely with children's wear and my designs.

Textile View

To get an idea of themes for summer 2013 and what trends have been predicted, I have had a look through the latest issue of View magazine to see their fashion forecast. Here is a brief outline of one of the themes they have outlined:

Second Fabric idea

As well as the Spotted fabric in my last post, I have also found this blue striped material. I feel the two fabrics go nicely together and have decided to use the two in my final design ideas.

Truro Fabrics

First Fabric

Looking at materials I decided I wanted to use a spotty fabric as shown in this image. I have found this and similar in various shops, links below.

Kidsfabrics
Truro Fabrics
MacCulloch & Wallis
These are just a few of the shops I have found selling this sort of fabric. I have found more shops, however they don't currently have websites up and running.

Colours

I have picked out some colours from my mood board and other items of clothing I have looked at, including past collections from SizeSmall Copenhagen. I feel these colours are bright and summery and will do well in a 2013 collection.

Concept Designs

I have started my design process with some concept designs. This is an image of both a boy and girl in dress and dungarees.
