Vintage Americana

The second project of this year was also self-initiated. I completed a textiles course during my A-Levels, and this year due to living with fashion students, I wanted to create a project that was illustration/fashion based. I decided I wanted to explore creating prints that could be used repetitively as material for fashion garments. I wanted to keep this project contemporary so I chose the fashion trend; Vintage Americana; for Spring/Summer 12'13. Each individual print is made up of everything American, such as urban signage, vintage cars, American diners and iconic American symbolism. I wanted to keep the colours as vibrant and retro as possible. I created twenty-four geometric prints in total, which can easily be replicated using Photoshop. 

Here are 10 of the final prints;

Here are 6 of the repeated patterns, to show how the print could be used as material;

So my final outcome was to create a LookBook of prints that could be used as material. Here's a few pages from the Look Book;
