>>DESIGN CONTEST - BETA FASHION - GRANNY'S ATTIC

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><a href="https://www.betafashion.com/competition.aspx"><span style="color: magenta;">Beta Fashion</span></a> produces unique and contemporary fashion by utilizing an open online platform. Their latest design competition:<br /><br /><strong>GRANNY'S ATTIC -<u> final submissions 5/21/2011</u></strong><br /><br />As we pass through life many of the material things we pick up along the way become obsolete in our day to day lives but none the less hold significant meaning because of the memories they have come to represent. No longer part of our lives but too precious to throw away, we store them in the attic, making this unlikely location a place of great intrigue and mystery as many of life’s memories gradually gather dust and are then forgotten. After a lifetime an attic becomes a treasure chest of fascinating artifacts from a life long past, often providing fascinating insight into the lives of the person to whom them once belonged. For this project we want you to base your designs on all the things you might find, or hope to find in such a room, and the feelings making such discoveries might evoke in you and others.<br /><br />6 designs will be chosen for use on our range of Silk Scarves. Winners will receive £50 upfront prize money as well as 10% of the sales revenue generated from their design.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidA03bnZwfnkj2aIWlomSjl-JHEKTXUDlKb5bj1dtphdVp__bomN3KNfjrXmy-XNhzfV2ovDHPnKu_nCG1Xl3fS5_0wOQoSPxHCICslGZp7El3d4xKkD7EOWo0kftC8YN0q5CQ76szbd4A/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="566" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidA03bnZwfnkj2aIWlomSjl-JHEKTXUDlKb5bj1dtphdVp__bomN3KNfjrXmy-XNhzfV2ovDHPnKu_nCG1Xl3fS5_0wOQoSPxHCICslGZp7El3d4xKkD7EOWo0kftC8YN0q5CQ76szbd4A/s640/Untitled-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

>>LENZING - FIBERS FOR FASHION AND MORE - S/S 2011

I was looking into inspirations for work tonight, here is a great resource for color trends by <a href="http://www.lenzing.com/en/fibers/service/trends/trends-springsummer-2012.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Lenzing.</span></a><br /><br />Excerpt below from the site where you can easily download colors for your reference and projects. They have readily available Spring/Summer 2012. <br /><br />LENZING:<br /><div class="csc-frame csc-frame-rulerAfter">It has become difficult to imagine an international fashion scene without Lenzing fibers.<br /><br />Lenzing fibers can be used for many applications. In addition to using viscose for home textiles, viscose has primarily gained a place in the fashion industry. It creates features in textiles and fabrics that end consumers - but also fashion designers - appreciate: brilliant colors, high wearing comfort, breathability, and a smooth flow.<br /><br />However, Lenzing does more for its customers. We commission fashion experts and trend researchers worldwide to identify the fashion trends of future seasons and to present them to you as quickly as possible.
