California blues

October 18th, 2013

Nothing says classic like a palette of beautiful blues.  From the sunkissed ocean aquas through to the deepest tones of an indigo sunset.  California provides a never ending palette of blue hues.

Come and visit our pinterest board and see what’s been inspiring our California blues.

In the pink

October 5th, 2013

This Fall is awash with a pastel palette of pinks.  The perfect colour to brighten any winters day. Feminine and flattering, head to toe petal pink is everywhere.  Of course, California Tailor will not be left out.  A warm rosy glow will be coming soon to our Spring collection.

Come and visit our “In the pink” pinterest board for more inspiration.

Below is one of my mood boards of all things pink.  Enjoy!

This summer I have not been able to stop dreaming about flowers.  From the early summer blossom to beautiful beach blooms.  Come and visit our pinterest board for more floral fun.

Stripes

August 10th, 2013

Whether it’s the original navy and white Breton or the classic Bengal stripe oxford. I can’t think of anything I love more than the humble stripe.  Stripes are an essential staple in every wardrobe, so I thought I’d take some time to celebrate the joys of the parallel line.  Horizontal and vertical, on land and sea, a classic for all seasons. Of course, California Tailor will not be left out.  Stripes will be coming soon to our fall collection.  See more stripe inspiration on California Tailor’s pinterest.

London inspired with a California twist.

Fashion illustration is a core skill for a designer but it’s been a while since I’ve picked up a pencil and sketched anything – possibly more than a decade.  I have always loved sketching and have explored many different techniques of fashion illustration during my time at art college and fashion degree course back in England.  Fashion illustration was an integral part of my studies but design software such as illustrator and photoshop are now so powerful now that sketching is almost a hobby than a need.  I’m on a mission to be creative with my trusty 2B pencil in hand instead of a mouse!  Already I’m enjoying being able to sit outside and sketch instead of being holed up inside over a laptop.

Let’s see what happens…
