Sarah Bagshaw's patterns are quickly becoming a favorite. My eye was immediately drawn to these two prints. Some of Sarah's designs are reminiscent of previous Marni patterns. Bagshaw is a surface pattern designer based in the UK. She uses a combination of drawing, painting and photoshop to create such vibrant pieces. These patterns are begging to be incorporated in clothes and home accessories.

After looking through some archives yesterday,  I was reminded of Gary Bigeni's designs (above SS12). The clothes he creates are full of bold hues and fresh patterns. Gary has such an interesting take on how is drapes his clothing, leaving women feeling sexy and sophisticated.
