Fashion Research: Prada

http://patternrecognition.co/wp-content/uploads/2014_spring_print_trends_prada.jpg  

This image shows another piece form the Prada s/s 14 collection, what I find
Interesting about this piece is how the print moves on the garment and body. Another
Thing I find interesting is how the colours are all linked together. Overall the
whole collection has sports vibe within it.

This post shows an example of the interior market levels , an example is the animal trend. I have looked at how the high street store next have taken the trend then researched how the company Cole And Son have designed the trend.

Although it has nothing to do with textiles , I found the photography rather interesting , as I tried to be influenced by everything in the arts including photography.

This post shows my research into the company mini moderns, what I find interesting about this company is there take on a retro trend that is there signature look. It makes me think that if I had my own business in the future I would prefer to have a strong signature look that people could recognise easily.
