Bubble Children's Wear Design show & London inspiration!

Yesterday I went to see Bubble a trade show exhibiting children's wear products there was so much to see and lots of inspiration for print and colour.

My two favourite companies were Frugi Clothing  and Olive & Moss I loved their graphical look with a fresh colour palette.

Some Snaps I took around London, lots of children's wear inspiration!

Sweet dreams is a girls nightwear project for S/S 2014 based around all things that girls love! Sweeties, hot chocolate etc. My pastel colour palette is taken from sweetie colours as well as looking at upcoming trends while keeping this range very commercial.

Sock it to Me
