Fashion Forecasting & Understanding Trends Inspiration

Once upon a time, fashion houses used to create fashion when they were inspired by their own creativity, fabric, accessories, or a colour. These days social media plays a huge part in trends and so does the movie industry.

The fashion industry needs to stay ahead of trends so they can pre-order stock ready be in the stores. Also manufactures who create all the matching accessories need to commence, along with all the matching accessories, shoes, jewellery, hats

  FLower EMbellishments Inspiration for these flowers was from a google search. Shabby Chic denim flowers. Link Design Sketch Creating the flowers   I freehand designed a flower with 5 sides. Utilising multiple coloured offcuts of material I cut out and layered flowers. I did a small gather stitch underneath the flower to try and create a crimped effect so the material would sit up. To secure the flowers I sewed the layers together and created a stamen with a sequin and bead. Denim jeans is a heavy material, so hand-sewing the flowers on will be difficult. A thimble maybe required to push through the needle. End design for flower embellishments I decided to follow the line of the jean's seam instead of the original staggered look design.
