I've recently started a new project for Embroidery and realising a collection. I have been looking at the the Fragility Fashion Trend on the Trend Boutique website, where I have taken the word Fragility and working more towards erode/decay. I'm not really sure which area yet.
Today I have been working with Natural dyes creating marks for me to work with at a later date. In this project I am going to be using devore, natural dyes, embroidery, smocking and print. I will show all my work as I go.
Take a look at my chosen theme from Trend Boutique below:

Taking in print, weave, knit & embellishment, this report aims to provide a comprehensive guide to the season from the de-coding of the main themes & movement between seasons to the key designers & brands to watch and the early indications from the major fabric & yarn trade fairs, such as Premiere Vision, Interfiliere and Pitti Filati.
This report also offers a rich source of inspiration that allows individual students & graduates the opportunity to develop their own interpretations and original work.
Here is The Trend Boutique's Autumn Winter 2012-13 Textiles Trend Report covering Fragility, Sharp, Radical & Remote:
Fragility
The overall look for this trend is one of texture. A clear follow on within textiles from the previous Autumn Winter’s ‘Worn’ trend, the colour palette is dominated by an intense black, which becomes particularly expressive on lustrous materials. Exagerated hand-embroidery techniques as well as technically advanced structures produce lively surfaces with irregular textures. This is the direction to inject accents of metallic.
- Colours of ash, ivories, and soft browns bleed together through dip-dying and ikat woven fabrics.
- Freestyle embroidery techniques are used for a scratched and distressed effect, fibres are over-brushed and bonded fabrics are torn to a barely there state, leaving textiles delicate and fragile.
Dark and mystical textiles add an elegant and evening touch to the trend. Spiky laces are created from plasticised and metallised yarns.
- Denim is a key textile for this trend with edges excessively raw and frayed. Calculated shreds and slashes can be placed internally with the use of pre-placed stitch lines.
- Chunky yarns are felted into matted cords to create an exaggerated bouclé look. Looped, curled and trailing down, they create various embellishments.
