ASOS MARKET PLACE BLOGGING

First up!

Thursday, 05 May 2011
Well, it’s been a pretty busy day, and an awesome week.
I found out that one of my superstar suppliers also makes clothing for one of the main stream up and coming biggies, Rag & Bone. Nice to know that the designs are being made by good hands!
Had time to do a little drawing whilst grabbing some lunch today…

VOLKLORE SS11 - Style POSTAGE


Part of the SS11 collection was focussed on photographic style prints. We were lucky enough to have been given an archive of really cool eastern bloc, cold ware era stamps amongst others. Our graphic designer made a few adjustments, turning our individual stamps in to a piece of artwork, then we put the image on screen.







During the printing process we looked at the colours we were using and started to play, adjusting the image by replacing black with violet, cyan with deep blue, magenta with orangey red. This was something we did across our full colour print styles.

This is the artwork we base our screen separation on, the colour is highly saturated to make screen  more detailed.



Style Name POSTAGE Volklore SS11

VOLKLORE SS11 - Style DWIGHT




Following on in our sketch series, this piece of artwork named 'DWIGHT', is based on New Orleans, Voodoo Blues.
 Hand sketched by our designer, then screen printed on to the garment, with select detail picked out in soft yarn, hand embroidery. There is a background print on the reverse side of the garment, adding detail.

Print & soft yarn, hand embroidery on single jersey fabric.
