brief

AIM: To design a menswear suiting / outerwear fabric, should be modern luxury/ travel / sportswear

REFERENCE:
Dashing Tweeds use the urban landscape for inspiration, you can use this or broadened this out to use a primary research topic of your own choice

INPIRATION AW 2013-
We are looking at texture and contrast for men. Moving away from too much heritage reference and looking towards modernity/ functionality and sportswear reference. Industrial materials/ technical materials combined with British wools. Surprise textures and finishes. Boucles, slub, textured yarn in contrast with smooth surfaces. Waxed and rubbersied finishes. Shades of neutral, greys, dark inky navy, aubergine, deep green with the odd bright. Matt/ shine. Micro structures and small scale geometrics.
