THE WARATAH PRINT : BEHIND THE DESIGN

After recently designing the bright new Waratah print for my upcoming collection, 

I thought I'd share some of the inspirations behind the design and the making of it

A selection of inspiration ingredients behind the design...

Through the process of developing the print, I had a lot of fun researching different 
species of waratahs in secondhand bookstores.

I was inspired by the works William Morris and his famous rhythmic floral wallpaper 
designs.

The traditional style of these 19th-century designs influenced the composition of 
the Waratah print, and this this is where the drawing process began...

A peek from the studio: Hand drawing the first outline of the design in pencil 

before filling out with vibrant colours.

 The final printed fabric: 

Matching the print design to each garment for the first outfit of the collection.

More will be revealed soon!
