September news...

Hi,

I'm loving the change in the seasons as Autumn mists and wonderful colours bring plenty of visual inspiration. There has been lots of action over at the Albaquirky studio these last couple of months, so I'm blogging a news bulletin to tell you what I've been up to...

This week I have been exhibiting at Premier Vision Paris where I am pleased to be showing lots of fresh A/W 18/19 collections with the Nerida Hansen Fashion Collective. This time last year I was exhibiting at the same Premier Vision show and some of the designs I sold at that show are just starting to hit the shops. I've been having fun spotting them out in the wild and currently can't walk past a Paperchase without having to stop and see what can be found on their shelves...

I was thrilled to see that my 'Machair' wallpaper was featured in the October edition of 'House Beautiful' magazine. They showcased it in an article on living room style and the black and white colour way called 'Inkdrops' had caught their eye. It is available to purchase from the award winning wallpaper brand Feathr.

I'm noticing a change in the buying trends of the Albaquirky product line as Autumn arrives. More of the darker colour schemes and wool fabrics are proving popular now, so popular in fact I've just sold out of these two designs!

In other news; I'm excited to announce that I will be exhibiting at my first Heimtextil show in Frankfurt in January 2018 with Nerida Hansen. I'm really pleased to be showing with Nerida again and lots of super talented designers at one of the worlds biggest pattern shows for interiors and home decor. Keep an eye on my instagram feed @albaquirkydesigns for sneak peeks of some of the home and interior focused designs I'm working on for the show!
