Heya,
I would firstly like to say I am super sorry that there was no post yesterday and it is going up today instead, however I was in London and got back very late so I didn't really think it was the best time to upload, however I am here today with my weekly post and I hope you enjoy!
So, I hope you are all doing well! Today's post is about my visit to the New Designers Exhibition.
For those of you who don't know the New Designers show is an exhibit were selected graduates from the year are picked to display their work. At the New Designers show there are opportunities to network with people, job opportunities, and competitions are held. It is a great platform for new designers to get their name known.
I went to new designers as I find looking at all the work so exciting and very inspiring. I particularly think in new graduates work you can see fresh, new, innovative ideas.
The New Designers show is held at the Business Design Centre in Islington (a short walk away from Angel the tube station in London).
The location its self Is actually very beautiful.
At the New Designers exhibition there are different day which focus on different specialty areas. I went on the day which had a huge focus on textiles. A lot of this involved fashion and also some home-ware.
Within the textiles and fashion work there was also more specialized areas which included things such as knitwear and digital print.
One of the first pieces I came across went entering is shown in the picture below. This piece was a knitwear focused piece. I really liked the combination of pastel tones. I was also really interested by how the knit created different textures in the garment.
The first stand I looked at was Loughborough university. I was very impressed by the standard of work and especially the presentation from here.
The work at the New Designers Exhibition was divided to into sections. In these sections were different university's stands and then their graduates work.
Below shown is the University of creatives arts based in Rochester. I really liked their stand. The creations were very bold and innovative and I was really interested by the use of print. The cuts of the garments were also very different and eye catching.
The next stand which I of course loved was Falmouth's. This stand showed the process of students work as well as their final outcomes. There was also a few award winners from the Uni. One of the things I particularly liked about the Falmouth stand was that each students work was different, individual and unique to them. Even though I loved all of the work at New Designers some of the work form the same Uni had one set image to the work which is not a bad thing , however I liked that I could see each students personality in the work of the Falmouth students.
Nottingham Trent was another University which had a really great stand. Visually this one really created an impact. There was a huge focus on the cuts and shapes of the garments here which really interested me. There was also a really wide use of different materials and strange combinations which actually worked really well together.
I really enjoyed the New Designers Show and I hope you also enjoyed hearing a little bit about it. I will be back very soon for another post. Thank you so much for having a read.
