join the dots.


things got a bit busy the past week or so. i've been doing some freelance work for a label, designing their Summer 2010 range in fact. it was a good insight into how 'designing' was like in the industry. i have my last day tomorrow, then after that back to the drawing board with Maiden. hope you all have had a great Christmas break! 2010 is just around the corner, so I guess i'll be seeing you all then... x

project 101.

 

my major brand proposal assignment, the last one i'll ever have to do for TAFE. results were in last week and i got just over 90%, yay me! 30+ pages of funfilled creatives and design by yours truly, maiden.

made in China.






it has been brought to my attention (by a creative source from France) that China is capable of producing something alot more than cheap mass produced garments. enter: Exception de Mixmind | the most successful contemporary designer brand from China. it's fashion, it's art, it's a lifestyle.  
it's the epitome of Asian style and design. oversized silhouettes, distinct styling, earthy colour palettes and beautiful textures, all the elements required in making a premium label.
