SS14 Top 10 Trends: No. 1 Ethnic

Sometimes it's difficult to keep track of every new fashion trend that emerges each season and it can get very confusing indeed. To make things a bit simpler, I've whittled down the vast array of fashions into my top ten trends this spring/summer. Keep updated as I will be posting a new trend every couple of days.
Today's Trend: Ethnic - The ethnic trend takes inspiration from all over the world this season, making for a look rich in culture. With an eclectic mix of prints and fabrics to choose from, this style is best worn with a few neutral pieces.

Capsule Collection: Digital Prints - Making Progress!

Spent all evening today getting my print files sorted on Photoshop so I can get them sent off for production... so it's been a bit stressful. I decided to go with Bags of Love for two of my prints and found that they print on neoprene like I used for my grad collection - not a fabric seen much on the high street but designers like Balenciaga use it often and it is slowly making it's way to the regular consumer. 
Haven't been so lucky with CAT Digital though as my file doesn't seem to be uploading... Hopefully they will get back to me soon about this. Anyway, I thought I'd show you a sneak preview!

All of these designs will be available from Cagecity in the near future and I will keep you posted on how I'm getting on with my collection when my prints arrive :)

As for dealing with the stress... I've just come across this lovely quote:
