Introducing Granny’s Overgrown Garden, a new textiles collection. My Spring/Summer 2018 Collection shouts Maximalism! I have taken a contemporary approach to exploring the themes<br />

of Kitsch and Nostalgia, through a combination of digital and machine embroidery onto printed design textiles. Exploring the rising trend of Maximalism through the use of materials,<br />

embroidery and embellishment. Celebrating nature through a 'more is more' approach. Granny’s Overgrown Garden takes inspiration from personal memories of my visiting Grandmothers<br />

overgrown garden as a child, to me this Garden was its very own way - Maximalist! Focusing of the creepy crawlies and eccentricity of plants, I have interpreted my theme through<br />

exploring Maximalist design. My textile designs create an escapism from the mundane creatures and nature we see in everyday life to an out-of- this-world secret garden, with the<br />

combination colour and material and the use of innovative embellishment.<br />
