Developing a Textiles brief - C1585

This unit involves making and merchandising a product that will be up for sale at Made in Jesmond. A local shop full of vintage, reloved and handmade products made my local deisgner-makers. My chosen theme for this brief is 'Folkloric'. I chose this theme after seeing a trend report on WGSN. I started my research by looking at artists and designers such as William Morris. I also found influence from designers on the spring/summer 2013 catwalks such as Tadashi Shoji, Temperley London and especially Alice McCall.

Most of my initial research is on my Pinterest in the 'Folk' Board which can be found here > http://pinterest.com/adelleroe/folk/

Alternatively, here is a brief summary of folk related images that I have found most inspiring.
