Iris Van Herpen   Fashion Collides With Technology trend forecasts

Dutch designer Iris van Herpen’s stunning collection ‘Voltage’ for Spring/Summer 2013, was inspired by ‘Imaginary Beings: Mythologies of the Not Yet’ at the Centre Pompidou, Paris last spring. This collection of 3D printing by Dr. Neri Oxman,( a professor, architect, designer and artist) motivated her to collaborate with Oxman, Austrian architect Julia Koerner  and 3D specialist Stratasys to produce pieces for her  architectural collection. Patternbank loves the futuristic, otherworldly quality created by this truly mind-blowing technology. To see more from ‘Voltage’ and to explore Van Herpen’s philosophy behind the collection visit her website. Photography by Boy Kortekaas,Ronald Stoops and Michel Zoeter.

Michael Dickter   Fleeting Moments of the Natural World inspiration

As paint drips down the canvas we are reminded of the urgency in time to record our thoughts and visions of the world around us. These fleeting moments when beauty surprises and astounds us are shared in Dickter’s desire to create and record the natural world. Dickter captures this with exquisiteness in marks, colour and paint, images of birds and flowers that appear frozen for us to enjoy. You can see more of these fleeting moments at michaeldickter.com

Magical Fractal Wonderland   C 91 inspiration

More amazing fractals by the talented Silvia C. from Italy, rather than focus on her floral designs, as we did here – we focus on her more abstract creations that look like incredible macro photographs of jewels, fungi and plants from a magical wonderland. This is Fractalism taken to the next level – see more of her work on Deviant Art.

Hannah Waldron   Texture, Pattern and Structure print pattern

Stockholm based print designer Hannah Waldron exhibits a strong sense of pattern and structure in her prints, and more recently has embraced weave, translating her signature style into structured textiles. With an enviable list of commissions in her portfolio including a tapestry commission for PICK ME UP 2012, and various projects for the V&A, Pizza Express and Paul Smith to name but a few, Hannah’s success is abundant. Patternbank love her stylised approach to pattern, building images with simple lines and blocks. Hannah’s ‘Furoshiki‘ (a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that were frequently used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods) are available to buy, with 10% of sales  going towards recovery efforts in Tohoku, specifically to rebuild a sewing factory where Furoshikis are made.
