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.

Did you know that this July marks the 67th birthday of the modern bikini?? So to mark this occasion let’s have a look at some cool print trends making a splash and having a frolic in the swimwear world.
From vibrant florals and crisp clean tribal designs to 1950’s inspired prints and styles, even the one piece suits get in on the action with some great examples of the scope of digital printing onto lycra. There’s plenty of animal action as well, We Are Handsome perhaps being a little too obvious for some? And who thought food was where it’s at, Top Shop sure thought so!
Start working on that beach bod and look forward to the array of exciting colours and prints that will be on offer in the not too far off future. Here’s to sunshine that will hopefully show her rays this weekend!

Amy Dudman textile designs for high fashion
These beautiful images from textile artist Amy Dudman caught our eye this week when posted on another fav blog site Pattern People, and we just had to spread the word!
A recent graduate and award winning at that, Amy showcases her area of specialty in digital printing with a whole bunch of gorgeous colours and textures, overlay effects and world class application.
Employing the use of embossing lifts (quite literally) these textile pieces onto another level enhancing the printed textures but working in combination that shows this cleaver chicken is thinking way outside the selvedge.
It will be exciting to keep an eye on this one and see what heights she jumps for next!

As the temp around Oz drops this weekend and the snow bunnies rejoice, if you need a little warming look forward to sunnier days by perusing the Pre Spring/Summer ’14 shows coming out of Europe.
These in-between season showings have an over relaxed and mellow vibe with the exception of the exciting prints and splash of colours pre-empting the full blown summer buzz. There seems to be a real movement around the digital fabric printing in many of the new collections, which is so nice to see being that Digital Fabrics is in the business of digital printing…
There are the pretty florals and the tropical imaginings but there are also so really intriguing combinations out as well. Bold graphic motifs paired with photographic images and ditsy florals. Scale is on the large side with many panel pieces on show making for great statement pieces which are likely to carry through to the summer ranges. Even the boys get a look in with some funky mix up prints stealing the show!
In any case, the parades might just warm you from the mere idea of warmer days. Rug up and enjoy here.

Fashion prints refer to the printed designs on fabrics specifically for the fashion market. Whether it is a Haute Couture label in Paris or a small local designer at the markets in Byron Bay, almost every clothing designer will incorporate a fashion print within their collections from season to season.
Just like the ever changing landscape of fashion design styles, so too do fashion prints follow trends in style and subject matter. Even a simple printed stripe or spot pattern is following a trend on colour, size and location on the finished garment.
Fashion prints are becoming an increasingly utilised tool in a fashion designer’s tool kit. We live in a hyper-visual world, where images of fashion parades stream the internet just as instantaneous as they happen. The increasing need to have a positive impact on sales delivers an exciting and diverse fashion print market. The inspiration for these fashion prints come from as varied a source as the combinations of things to search for on the internet.
Fashion prints find their way onto fabric in a multitude of ways, in combination and alone. Fashion printing techniques include screen printing, rotary printing, burnout, sublimation and are not limited to embellishments such as flocking and foiling. Printing can be applied with inks or dyes and can be found on almost all fibre types and constructions in one form or another.
Designing a fashion print takes consideration not only of trends and seasons, but also the type of garment it will be used in as well as the target market of the fashion label. Developing the seamless repeating pattern can be tricky but also highly rewarding seeing the final product on the body.
At Digital Fabrics, we can assist you with your fashion print selection and development for you next seasonal range. Please ask us for more information on the types of fashion prints we have on offer for you to purchase, as well as the digital design services you can employ to get you fashion prints looking great!

A creative collaboration between Iris Van Herpen, Nick Knight and Daphne Guinness; has resulted in one amazing piece of wearable art. Rules don’t apply to Iris Van Herpen who is well known for her eccentric futuristic couture masterpieces. For her latest project she has join forces with Knight and Guinness to create a water dress which will be the centre piece for the SHOWcabinet exhibition.

Van Herpen sculpted the natural movement of water using pet G plastic, creating a one of a kind garment. Iris van Herpen truely thinks outside of the box, not only with her latest design but all her designs fusing old and forgotten techniques with innovative materials.
