Branding || The Solar Print

I massively enjoy creating the branding and packaging for my (little yet expanding vastly) fashion brand. The Solar print from The Transcendent collection is full of some serious surface design, so I chose to zoom in to a specifically texturised area and have it printed on our customer invoice envelopes and swing tags:

AW13 Planning

A few inspiration boards behind our AW13 lookbook. Planning out clothing looks, location, make up hair etc. Most of the images are taken or sourced by my photoshoot planners @holliedavies

and @JessBeardmore. They both study Textiles in Practice at Manchester School of Art. Follow Jessica's ever expanding and inspirational Pinterest boards here and follow Hollie's thought processes and design influences at her tumblr here. Over the past few weeks they have both been researching and planning the AW13 lookbook for www.riannaphillips.com. It's coming together beautifully.

Insta-life

What a mental few months! Here is an insight through instagram. It's scattered with links to various areas of my business I've been working on. 

Since setting up my own business I have NOT STOPPED! But i've loved every minute.

Designing new digital print for scarves

Stainless steel branding, see full post here

Bag bags and more bags

More digital print design for a new batch of bags and scarves that will be in my online shops soon

Sewing a new clutch bag sample together

Sourcing new fabrics

More digital print design, finalising which is to be printed onto scarves, hard decision making!

New tassel zipper pulls

Ready to be sewn together

Website design

Stock

A mini dust bag, every scarf or bag comes with a dust bag to keep your purchase safe in. This eeny weeny one is the cutest i've ever made!

Branding

Have been having fun with my logo stamper. It now is a sneaky bit of branding that has crept into the lining of some new bags. I've stuck with this logo since a project in my 2nd year at uni. It's everywhere, on my business cards, invoices, website title etc.

Get this hand dyed and metallic mini clutch bag here.

A few pics of my stainless steel branding, from thw starting point to how they are used as zipper pull tabs on my bags

Speedy Stamps

I thought it best to invest in a bit of branding, so after finding Speedystamps.co.uk I have now got this pretty cool one off logo stamp.

I've been using it to brand the dust bags that will come with the bags I sell on both my online shops:

Labels, branding . . .ZIPPER!

To go with the zipper garments I created a few tags, to help label each piece before it got marked and also to establish a bit of brand identity. It's not what I'm going to stick with but it was good to play around with the images I'd accumulated over the project. I used photo shop to distort images and incorporate some of the little doodles from my sketch book.

I'm doing much blog surfing this week to get together a few ideas for the summer project. Looking forwards to snooping through everyones latest posts!
