This week I was introduced to the "storyboard" feature on Stylesight, a site dedicated to fashion and art trends used by industry professionals. I was inspired to create two trendboards featuring my take on upcoming trends in 2013.
This trendboard is called "Rusted" and it is inspired by an image of a rusted vintage car. I loved the shades of reds and browns in the image and I was so inspired to create a collection based on those colors. I was also intrigued by the interesting textures from the image. My color story was inspired by a photo of a granite rock in shades of browns. I researched several runway trends that used this color pallet and found this beautiful Vivienne Westwood handbag from Fall 11. I also found a very interesting rusted red fur coat from Frankie Morello from Fall 05. My favorite has to be this Valentin Yudashkin look with a long maxi dress with red and purple shades, completed with a brown leather jacket. Some silhouettes that I would like to pair with this trend are long chiffon dresses paired with a vest or jacket. Also some light weight blouses paired with maxi skirts or exaggerated wide legged pants.
What do you think of the trendboard? Do you think this trend will hit the market next year?
I like the colors you chose a lot! Very innovative use of these colors because reds and browns can be seen as old and outdated colors.
ReplyDeleteI want to wear the 1st outfit! :)
I saw a really cool vintage looking floral patterned women's coat at Fossil with these rusty colors. Wish I could send you a link but it's apparently off from their website already. :/
ReplyDeleteI can see the influences you took from the rusted car in the color as well as the lines. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe colors you chose are very intriguing and I can clearly see your inspiration echoed in the designs you created. The patterns also matched the color pattern of the rusty car! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour use of the Stylesight flats was clever. It helps to communicate the trend and theme you want while giving the viewer an idea of the final product you have in mind.
ReplyDeleteI love this story board! The color you chose are definitely promising for Fall 2013! Gorgeous silhouettes and very intriguing fabric choices. I especially love where you sought inspiration from!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very well put together storyboard! I like that it has a lot of detail so your ideas come across clearly. I love the color story you used and I think they will definitely be marketable for next fall.
