Aerial

We are still looking at aerial shots in the office for inspiration after some research we discovered these beautiful photographs by photographer Joseph Ford

Ford teams aerial photographs with designer garments, giving a visual for how we can translate environmental inspiration into collections or prints.

Photoshoot

We are kicking off this week with images from our scarf photo-shoot in which we tried to capture an amazing scarfs that were designed by fashion students from St George TAFE for our “Local Produce” woman’s scarf SS14 competition.

Here we go: model our Barbara Brayovic, photographer Maria Tanygina and you are be the judge.

All scarfs were printed and made at Digital Fabrics.

Freshly made

This pretty tote is one of the examples of what we do at Digital Fabrics. Made last week from scratch, designed, hand painted, printed and made at Digital Fabrics.

Local Produce

Earlier this year Digital Fabrics took forward a competition for the students at ST George TAFE to design a scarf inspired by the theme ‘local produce’ students had to research what this meant to them and interpret it into a 1 metre squared scarf design, they were also given 3 colours that they had to incorporate into their designs.

We received lots of submissions which we then had to choose winners from, here’s a peek at some of the designs the students came up with.

The winners will be announced at the MUSE, Ultimo TAFE on the 28th of OCT, the scarves will also be displayed to see at the MUSE on the 28-30th of October.

Hope to see you all there!

Floral for Spring

The Spring 2014 RTW Fashion shows have commenced with New York first to start showing the talented designers latest collections. One trend so far that has been featured in almost all the collections is Floral’s, in the words of Miranda Preisley “florals for sprint..? Ground Breaking!” And yet Floral’s for Spring just seems so right; We are currently in the 6th day of spring in the southern hemisphere, and Sydney is well and truly showing off what lays ahead for the months to come. The weather is absolutely perfect for floral everything!

Now we won’t get to purchase our favourite pieces from NYFW shows until next year, but with some quick designs and our speedy turn-around you could start making your own floral spring inspired garments in no time!

Carrying on from our last blog post, we are still looking at the impact of texture in prints.

Today we are inspired by the Swedish label ACNE Studios. When you think ACNE Studios, you think classic shapes, beautiful fabrics and luxurious leathers. Designer Jonny Johansson for ACNE studios latest collection up for sale on the ACNE website features a few printed garments that have been cleverly executed.

These prints are soft and subtle but create depth and texture to each piece.

Faux Nature

At Digital Fabrics we love Flowers and anything Flora or Flora inspired. This weeks Flora inspiration comes from Isabelle Menin a Belgian photographer.

Isabelle Menin began her artist career focusing on painting, after several exhibitions, she decided to quit painting and to work with digital photography. To achieve her technique she takes photographs, scans fragments of nature and plays with texture and color, transforming and mixing them to create a rich and gorgeous faux nature.
