My Work, My Writing,
and Me.
My name has an extra 'a' and I have an extroverted nature.
I'm a creative communicator with a love of sandwiches, clever copy, and interesting design.
I don't like spelling 'necessary' or thinking about how deep the ocean is. But I'm working on both of them.
Trend Prediction
A group trend prediction document and presentation created January 2020, to predict and explore the ‘Legacy Reloaded’ trend due to appear A/W 20/21.
‘Legacy Reloaded’ is a trend that refers back to classical tailoring fastenings and fits, and modernises them to add a feeling of security to clothing for the new challenges that the new decade will bring. It is outfitting for a modern ‘hero’ figure; a source of hope and comfort in these confusing times.
In Womenswear the trend mainly appears as ‘upgraded’ and reimagined ‘classic’ sillhouettes, such as the trench. They are updated to suit the lives of modern women.
In Menswear the trend appears in the actual material of the garments. Using modern technical fabrics to contrast with otherwise ‘classic’ silhouettes.
In Visual Merchandising and Interiors the trend takes classic ‘craftsman’ interiors such as wood panelling, and infuses them with ‘loud’ colours and tech.
In Graphic Design the trend will be seen in a return to serif font styles, as well as a resurgence of ‘hands-on’ classic design, such as signpainting and physical collage.
