Interior Bedroom Designs by Designer Guild





I love this collection of designs for bedrooms because of the way they have explored detail, techniques and colours in their floral designs which some of it has a bit of an ethereal feel to it in their choice of colours.





I love how they have used the colours and details in their florals for their interior design collection and the floral designs look a bit like they could created and painted with water colours rather than printed on to the fabric.
These collections are inspiring my floral designs with the theme called ethereal in my design work while I am drawing my designs and exploring with different medias such as coloured pencils, coloured inks and watercolour paints etc.

I love her paintings because of how she mixes fantasy, fairy tales with sometimes gothic elements in her paintings and it is also nothing like the paintings I have seen before.

Ethereal Theme Fashion







British Vogue, October Issue 2013
I love how the designers have used the florals and fabrics in delicate, light and soft patterns, colours and fabrics in their designs. I also love the scenery of a fashion shoot is looks like it is set in the large garden of a old fashioned country house from the Victorian period, but in a light and very romantic way.

My Fashion icons


These are my fashion icons because I love the way they dress and style their outfits in different ways.
http://www.vogue.co.uk/spy/15th-anniversary/frida-giannini/audrey-hepburn-
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn, as recommended by Frida Giannini
I love how she dressed because it is very ladylike and in sophisticated way as well as elegant which I think is very tasteful.
Madonna, as recommended by Frida Giannini
http://www.vogue.co.uk/spy/15th-anniversary/frida-giannini/madonna
Madonna
I have put down Madonna as one of my fashion icons because she is not afraid to express herself or push the boundaries in her choices of fashion as well as her music.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry
I love her style because it is very unique, colourful and very quirky and she is not afraid to be herself, also I wish I could sometimes steal her wardrobe because I love to sometimes dress very quirky and eccentric.

British Vogue, October 2013 Issue
Alexa Chung
I love her style because she is not afraid to mix designer brands with high street and her style is very tomboyish but at the same time a bit feminine and girly.

British Vogue, October 2013 Issue
Kate Moss
I like how her style has evolved over the years as she has become older she sometimes dresses very glam but I think most of the time her style is very street chic.

I love how Jessie J style because she can go from a bit Theatrical, glam to street style which a lot young girls and women can copy from as her style is very street chic is very tasteful way and it is a bit similar to my taste in fashion and also if I could steal a Celebrity's wardrobe for a year I would steal Jessie J's Wardrobe especially her printed leggings which I love because I love prints and colours clashed together.

V&A Museum Visit January 2014 Gothic Period










Own Images
These are Christianity iconographic pieces which were created during the Gothic period. I had taken photographs of these art pieces while visiting and having a look at the V&A Museum in London after I had visited the Cloth works on that same day earlier.

On this website it tells you the difference between a target market and a target customer.
Abercrombie & Fitch:-

http://www.abercrombie.co.uk/shop/uk/womens-new-arrivals
I would say that Abercrombie & Fitch clothing brand would appeal to young men, women, boys and girls who are under 25 years old because of the use of advertisment in their brand and this brand appeals to the younger crowd in modern society.
DOLCE E GABBANA -
Dolce & Gabbana:-
http://store.dolcegabbana.com/gb/turn-heads-in-tuxedo_grd492
http://store.dolcegabbana.com/gb/the-new-tuxedo_grd472
I would say that this fashion designer label would appeal to men and women who have a high income and love to wear romantic palettes and heavy embellishment on their clothes.

http://www.primark.com/en/whats-new/product/6966,mens-burnout-sweater
Primark:-
I would say that Primark appeals to customers who a low income and also those who like to keep up with the latest trends, but at cheaper cost and a fraction of the price you would normally pay if it was a designer brand.
