Paris Fashion Week - Dries Van Noten

Paris Fashion Week is now in full force and I dipped in to have a look and was blown away by the collection of Dries Van Noten. It's heaven for anyone who loves textiles and colours, with an array of jacquards, ruffles tweeds and pleats all thrown together to produce a juicy melting pot of design. I love the clashing of colours that work so well together.

Gwendolen

Gwendolen is a brand set up by London-based Anna Snowden and is named after her grandmother. She started off by manufacturing paper products and supplying Liberty and Heal's, but 2012 sees her progressing into designing patterns for textiles with the launch of Gwendolen Cushions.

Anna is inspired by an array of influences from nature to typography and has worked closely with a Suffolk weaving mill to produce beautiful jacquard fabrics to create a modern, unique product using a traditional technique, with a pleasing colour palette.
