This has been a very exciting process and to be honest the aspect of the project I've been most looking forward to; getting my designs printed onto fabric. I went into the digital print room knowing the look and feel of the fabric I wanted to print my designs onto, after having a look at the fabric samples that were available, I decided to go with the silk habotai. It’s a lightweight, slightly transparent silk with a light sheen to give my designs a elegant feel. I selected eight designs; using two from each “look” within the collection so when printed, the swatches could really feel like a collection. I’m really pleased with the final outcome; the silk gives the designs a brilliant, soft finish and the colours are deep and intense, just that way I designed them. If I a big supply of money, I would have definitely printed s few more designs onto a heavier fabric to see what the finish would be like, however the silk was a safer option as I knew it was just what I wanted.
