Interior Research: Sophie Conran

Ideal Home Magazine

These two pages are scanned in from ideal home magazine the show the designer Sophie Conran , who has her own wallpaper collection as well as a variety of things like cookware. Her father terrace conran is big in the design world and has even been knighted, her brother is jasper conran who is a fashion designer at Debenhams , so there is a lot of her family members that are famous not just Sophie. But what I love about her work ,  especially her wallpaper range , from the bold dramatic colours , to the delicate patterns she has it all going on in her work, which I love.

Gift Research: Kate Goldman

This image of work is by the designer Kate Goldman. What I love about her work is just how quirky as well as simple her designs are but they still work. They are bright, cheerful and colourful, also her work has been placed on everything from stationary to food packaging in m and s. 

Gift Research: Kirstie Allsopp

https://d3hgnfpzeohxco.cloudfront.net/images/

These two images are from Kristie Allsopp official website, I chose to research her because she is a craft queen, and also does I lot of designer maker work including gift, bedding ceramics etc. Kristie Allsopp has been viewing and designing homes for years , what she does not know about houses is not worth knowing about.

 



Gift Research : Clintons

http://www.shopsilverburn.com.

The reason I have chose to look at Clintons is that they sell a

big range of gifts like cards, bags etc.. They have been a firm

favourite  on the high street for years and collaborate with

designers selling their products, which is what I like about

The shop.

Gift Research: Paperchase



http://printpattern.blogspot.co.uk 

The reason I have chosen to look at the company paper chase is

That they have many designers who design their collections and

Not only are the collections so on trend, but their designer’s start

the trends when it comes to gift or style .The collections are so off beat, but

are also very quirky, I think their range is hard to beat.



Fashion Research :Next

www.thedrum.com

I chose to look at the next shop because I wanted to show the broad range

of the market from the big designers to, to the designers for the

High street and also the middle of the market like what next

Possibly be. I like the shop next because they have a lot of

Good quality, also they have a lot of lispy clothes that they sell.

This is another designer brand that a high street shop has

Collaborated with.

Fashion Research: River island

I have looked at river island to show the difference between high street and the top designers.
 

Fashion Research: Dolco And Gabbana

http://apenoxopoihmeno.wordpress.com

This shows the Dolce and Gabbana collection for 2013. These prints

have been everywhere this year and have even been seen on Katy Perry.

What I really like about these prints is the fact they are so unusual but still

Work, I also really like the bold colours , as they seem to really work with the shape and style of the clothes.



This page I have scanned in from look magazine.

I chose to add this page in from look magazine as I believed in tied in well with
 the Dolce and Gabbana research, this is because the  range is very much an illustrated pattern and my magazine page shows how this is clearly a big trend for 2013. The patterns are very much , graphic and illustrated and unlike a design that I have seen before , which is why I like the designs.

 

 



Fashion Research: Erdem

what I find successful about this work is the bright quirky floral prints in bright

Electric colours and also shows apart from dresses, erdem creates

Trouser suits as well.  

Fashion Research: Erderm

www.josephinekimberling.com/blog/spring-2013-erdem/ ,

This photo is from erdems spring collection,

erdem is one of my favourite designers as he uses a lot of floral

Patterns in pale colours, but also uses bright and bold colours as

A way of expressing himself which I find successful. 

Fashion Research: Roberto Cavalli

 http://runwaymagazines.com 

The reason I have looked at Roberto Cavalli is he is very well

Known in the fashion world and he has a lot of girlie prints

In his collections, which I like and he also is a big

trend setter.

Interior Research: Boutique Style Bedroom

This wallpaper is by Nina Campbell and is
from the website , blog.styleestate.com 



I chose to research Nina Campbell because I like her girlie prints and she is not afraid to add quirky prints with bold background colours. Her work is more of a vintage style which is a style I like more than modern styles.












Interior Research: The White Company

Www.grandarcade.co.uk  

What like about this company is their simple but effective
style that will never date , the shades white , cream
and grey are their signature shades that can be
cosy but also quite contemporary , their look
is quite recognizable. 

Interior Research: Graham and Brown

Style At Home Magazine Nov 2011 







 

This wallpaper sample is named Poise and is from the company Graham and Brown,

Wallpaperdiretct.co.uk. The reason I like this Sample is my favourite colour is purple , also

Because it has geometric design of Flowers which is just an interesting take on a floral design I think. I have also scanned in some pages from style at home magazine that shows the wallpaper in a very glamorous bedroom, I love the idea of showing the wallpaper sample then showing it actually being used.

Interior Research: Cole And Son

www.wallpaperdirect.com
scanned in.

This is a wallpaper sample of the company Cole and son ,
designed by Vivienne Westwood. The reason I like this sample is I like the 
dramatic black flowers against the pale pink , which I think is quite striking. 
Also I love the take on the floral trend .
