Eleanor Bowley graduated from the Arts Institute in Bournemouth with a BA Hons in Illustration. She recently produced a limited edition line of clothing for urban outfitters, based on recycling second hand garments. i like the collaged style of her work and the combination of various media to create quirky, vintage looking pieces.

Eleanor Bowley uses an element of recycling in her work, which links in with the idea of Eco- friendly and sustainable products, which i thought would be useful for my current project on innovation. She re-uses waste textile materials, and second hand buttons; things that are considered to be waste. Bowley deconstructs pieces of clothing and uses fabrics as a base to work further with combining the collage process. Her inspirations are fabrics buttons and vintage text.

David Downton

David Downton was commissioned to design these stylish 'eco' friendly shopping bags for Marks and Spencer. The designs are very iconic and stylish and is definitely a great thing for the environment. I think it's good as it's a transformation from the boring plastic bags adding a sense of style to food shopping. It is apparently a "must-have style conscious accessory." Great for the Fashionista's!

Nadia Flower

Nadia Flower's illustrations are really edgy and fantasy like. I admire the piece above with the exotic theme and bright, fresh colours. I especially like the composition below, which i could imagine as a repeat for wallpaper. i find it really inspiring and love how the figures all blend in together and how areas are detailed with a print or detailing of clothes. The figures are very high fashion and quirky and the whole piece has a glamorous, feminine feel, which i adore.

Sara Singh

I love Sara Singh's illustrations because of her expressive use of watercolours, which is something i also like to work with. In her fashionable pieces, the watercolours give a really beautiful, subtle feel while complimenting her subjects; accentuating female figures and flower forms,

Deanne Cheuk

I admire these linear female drawings overlaid with floral designs combined with the free expressive quality of watercolour inks. The finished compositions are dreamy and mythical like.

Tord Boontje

Beautiful laser cut designs make up the work of Tord Boontje. The various designs icluding, lights, textiles and installations all seem to share a common theme of fairytales and dream like things. The pieces project a elegent, delicate and give a magical feel, which i really like. http://www.tordboontje.com/
