Trend Boards

Over the past 2 weeks, we've been working on a trend project, researching what we think the trends are going to be in 2012. Sounds easy?
Well, Pixar are bringing out a new film about newts (not really the next Alice in Wonderland?), and the world is, apparently, going to end. Not much to go on really.

But despite this, we created some pretty impressive trend boards (If I may say so myself!). And the presentation, infront of our course leaders, went pretty well too (ended up talking about lovers and jehovah's witnesses).

So, the main themes were burnt pastels and darker shades to represent destruction and the end of the world (a little morbid I know). We also thought about layering to signify fallen buildings and rubble.
I adore knit so we incorporated this for a softer approach, even though the trends were meant to be for Spring Summer 2012!
