Collezioni Trends
Collezioni is a fashion trends journal that focuses on print and fabric mainly. The issue I have been looking at focuses a lot on knitwear and previews of beach wear prints and fabric trends. They don't seem to focus on silhouette trends but they are shown within their other trend reports.

A lot of the silhouettes she uses are quite baby doll-esque and not risque in the slightest which I personally think makes the designs more fun.

Brian Dettmer is another paper artist that I have been looking at but he works with whole books to create 3D art pieces out of the pages of the book. His work is really innovative because he doesn't just stop there, he carries on to make that small piece of art into a larger piece with other book components.

It's as if florals never go out of style and people are reinventing ways of using them in their designs. I found this gorgeous paper artist online who makes head pieces, wall decorations and general art pieces mainly based on flowers. I love the way she plays with scale to make a bigger impact.

Her work is so feminine yet so bold at the same time. I would love to see her work put into clothing too and I can't wait to see what she does next.

Dolce and Gabbana S/S 2014
The latest collection from Dolce and Gabbana is ull of beautiful prints and gold filigree to make it look mega luxurious.
Dolce and Gabbana is one of my favourite labels of all time as everything they create is classic with a quirky twist. I really got into their collections after their S/S 2011 collection which was all white; so pure yet with whole bucket load of sensuality.

WGSN
WGSN was started in 1998 as a trend forecasting site that design companies invest in to see what trends will be big in the coming seasons.They are now the world leaders in this area. They cover 18 specialist categories in their trend reports from fashion, to footwear, to interiors.
As I was trawling through WGSN I found a lovely report on the Modern Romance trend for Spring/Summer 2014. It's full of feminine shapes and prints with classic and modest silhouettes (all of my favourite elements of fashion).

I then started looking at inspiration and direction on WGSN and found these gorgeous prints that are predicted to be big trends. They are calling this trend Botanical Florals.

Potted plant
This is the pot I have created from card, kitchen roll and felt tip pens. I will be making bark to fill it with and placing my paper orchid plant in it too.

Paper flowers
The past two weeks I have been making paper flowers; a passion flower and orchids. I may need to invest in a more stylish vase for the passion flower!
