It is Friday again and of course that means it's time for some fabric indulgence. Continuing from last week I am going to look back at previous features and share some new collections from designers that have apepared in Fabric Friday in the past year. As today sees the start of London Fashion Week I feel it apt to look at some of our main British textile designers.
I first featured Cath Kidston for Fabric Friday back in April last year and am excited to see what new designs she has released.
Whilst other design houses release new collections usually in line with the fashion seasons Cath Kidston does not clearly announce new designs on her website. However I am sure that Circus and London Scene are fairly new designs and are both fabulous. Cath Kidston designs are synominous with quintessential English ideals and the theme of London Scene I feel ties in very well with the Cool Britannia trend that is still popular. The Circus print reminds me of childhood trips to the big top and again airs that feeling of nostalgia that Cath Kidston prints evoke.
Designers Guild
Designers Guild were first featured in a Fabric Friday post in the Summer last year and I have since been fortunate enough to review Tricia Guilds book, A Certain Style.
There are several new collections released by Designers Guild that fit with the fashion seasons of Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer. This new Spring /Summer season has seen thirteen new fabric collections, including the fantastic Arles collection resulting from a collaboration with Christian Lacroix. There are also three new wallcovering collections, Linnaeus, Around the World and Essentials Oxbridge.
Here are three of my favourites from the new collections, I especially love the solid vibrancy of Piave, reminiscent of catwalks for S/S11.
Lisa Stickley
Lisa Stickley has become a household name, especially since joining the line up of 'Designers at Debenhams'. I first featured Lisa Stickley in the middle of the summer last year.
Whilst there is a new homewares collection available from Debenhams Lisa Stickly has several new designs available on her website. Here are a few new pieces -
