FLOWER POWER
S/S 14 examines acid modernism through psychedelic views of tropical landscapes and a sense of Fauvism. Exotic large scale floral / landscapes prints and graphics that evoke a connection between dreams and creativity. Designers appear to crave exuberant fashion glowing with bright colors and vibrant motifs which is can be seen in the trend research images below.
S/S 14 Initial design concepts.
S/S 14 Trend Forecasting.
Key design components I’ve noticed trending for S/S 14:
-Platform wedge heels are magnified to oversized heavy effect
-Layered straps belt the foot with additional layers jutting down, over and across the heel and ankle
-Floral applications flourish at the rear of the heel for additional excess, over the top effect.

I have been extremely inspired lately and have a million and one ideas that I need to get out of my head and on to paper. During my design process I research and gather images, music, colors, literature etc. that inspire my designs, which in return give them life to grow. Nature has always been a main source of inspiration in my designs, because like my designs, it is always evolving and changing with time. Key design elements that captured my eye lately, and that I noticed have captured other designers attention aside from footwear, are features, colors, and trims that resemble the movement of the ocean. From ombre prints with iridescent beading and light flowing materials to shell surfaced hardware and coral inspired metallic trims. I create mood boards (like below) and scatter them around my loft to continually feed my right brain during the design process.
