Today we are delighted to bring you the shortlist of entries as selected by our Co-founders Rachael Taylor and Beth Kempton and the Make it in Design Team. The standard of ALL entries was incredibly high and it was such an enjoyable challenge for the panel to select the following designers.
A really beautiful and fresh colour palette which really compliments your illustration style. A really great collection which would be perfect for Boden.
A really bold and colourful collection which has such a wonderful retro vide about it. Love it.
Love the zen concept so much and how you have applied this concept to your design, product and packaging is gorgeous. This is so commercial and we can already picture it on display in boutique style or deli shop.
Your colour palettes and patterns are so wonderfully rich and inviting. These would work fantastically across stationery.
We love the nature theme of your collection and the rich and inviting colour palettes really make it stand out.
A wonderfully bold and bright collection which we can see working well across a range of products including textiles and fashion.
A really colour, fresh and fun collection. Each of these designs would work so well on bolt fabric and make for a really commercial collection
We were so delighted with all the entries and a HUGE congratulations to the shortlisted designers – who each receive a complimentary place on the Advanced track of either Winter School or Summer School 2019!
