Moodboard for March 2013

Thought I'd share my moodboard for my next collection. It's inspired by busy cities like Tokyo and will feature hand-dyed textiles in moody indigo and grey, with touches of citrus yellow. Geometric shapes and sharp angles balance out the watery look of the fabrics. It'll be a small transeasonal collection - a couple of dresses, some tops,  light outerwear, a couple of skirts and a cute pair of shorts. I'm aiming to have it all finished and in the shop by early March. I've got a lot of other projects to work on at the moment with settling into our new apartment (yes! we moved in on Saturday!), making my wedding dress (!) and a bit of custom work, so I'm giving myself plenty of time to get it all done. Now I just need to wait for my sewing machines & other equipment to arrive so I can really get started!

I should mention that the photos used above & their original sources can be found on my March 2013 Pinterest board.
