 The Victoria and Albert museum in London is presenting an Haute Couture exhibition of French and British couture between 1947 and 1957, considered the “Golden Age” of fashion.
The exhibition will feature designs by Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Norman Hartnell, and Balmain. There will also be a focus on the contruction techniques of couture, which are seldom seen by the public, due to the elite market for Haute Couture.

 BNN has published a series of beautiful textile and graphic design books; called Petit Pattern Books Each book has a theme (flowers, dots) and features pages of intricate, gorgeous prints and motifs.
The books are Japanese and although it is reflected in the style of the artwork, they are still very universal. Each book comes complete with its own CD, so the images are easily used in digital work, and they include instructions on how to use the files in Photoshop and Illustrator. My favourites so far are Flowers & Leaves and the Pictogram book, which features funny little icons.
Available in specialist book stores. |
