Indigo Paris

So we've just arrived back from Paris. Indigo is a fashion trade show, this is where we try and sell our prints. It is always a great experience and a good insight to how part of the fashion trade works. This is the second year my work has been there for sale and even though last year I had some great feedback I had no sales. This year I sold four of my printed fronts I couldn't be more pleased as this only confirms my chosen path for the future. I want to design prints freelance and even though I was unable to make direct contact with any of the major print companies in this country (because of how incredibly busy they were and I could only work for 3 hours) but I acquired a list of all the relevant companies I need to make contact with. A thoroughly successful trip.

Dragon Fruit

This is the most amazing looking fruit, The strange prongs and colour make it very interesting.

 It tastes of a light melon, this fruit fascinates me as the the trees it grows on produces the most amazing flowers but they only come out at night. A great inspiration for my FMP and the goblin market poem by Christina Rossetti.
