Current Industry

This week I have been looking into how florals are already playing a massive roll in the textiles industry. I started off looking casually through secondary resources- internet, magazines. It appears that they object is widely used (as most people already are aware) EVERYWHERE, with big brands such as Cath Kidston and Liberty of London using flowers as a trend setter. I then began to look at other ways that the flowers can be shown- my favourite example was in shop window displays. They are commonly used to break up a scene and to add a backdrop to the objects that are being displayed. With this in mind, I remembered that on a visit to London over Summer, I had taken interest in Selfridges' shop window, with them too, using this idea. I am always more attracted to a store depending on what is being shown in the shop window displays- a job that I would enjoy working in.
