I came across this fashion designer a few years ago and this particular collection has really stuck in my head. The Ivana Helsinki Spring/ Summer 2012 collection. Founded in 1998 by Paola Suhonen and her sister Pirjo Suhonen their fashion line uses high quality materials, bright colours and bold unusual patterns and print designs. In September 2010, Ivana Helsinki showed its first collection Copper Chain at New York Fashion Week. After seeing the catwalk show online it was nice to see how the patterns flowed nicely on the fabrics. From what I could see there were weights of fabric and it was a subtle yet characteristic contrast between the fabrics.
In this particular collection I can picture the prints being done by a the Illuminating discharge technique I tried in the print room. I would like to develop this technique further in the print rooms (if there's space) on different fabrics to see what works best and if I could use them in my final samples.
