[ TREND REPORT ] ORNAMENTAL GODDESS BY HANAMARIE & HELEN PROUDLOCK

   ORNAMENTAL GODDESS    

THE KEY ELEMENTS TO THIS TREND ARE:

• Contemporary twist on English floral prints.
• Vintage Americana Tropicana - trend inspiration from "Vintage Americana"
• African inspired insect prints - trend inspiration from "Power Prints"
• Miami feel,  cool and fresh prints ready for the beach.
• 1950's Art Deco geometric prints updated with mashed up animal prints.
• Traditional paisley with a Middle-Eastern vibe.

The overall trend and collection has a bright bold pattern clash statement:

• Experimental prints from power prints/floral ditsy prints/scale variation create a wide and interesting look to the full collection.
• Mixing traditional screen printing with digital and contemporary sublimation print.
• Heavily inspired by new fresh talents like Holly Fulton, Matthew Williamson and Thankoon.

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.
