Recently we\u2019ve been running design contests to push your creativity and reward emerging talent, and it’s working. We had some amazing entries and as a result it was difficult to pick our favourites. Here\u2019s a quick summary of the previous competition winners and their prizes; we hope you get as much inspiration from these talented designers as we have.<\/p>\n

\"transition<\/a><\/p>\n

Transition Competition<\/h2>\n

First of all, we started off with an open theme to celebrate change and diversity. As this launched at the height of our fabric season we asked you to design a pattern which illustrates transitions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"competition
1st Place Patricia Moffett<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1st Place \u2013 Patricia Moffett<\/h3>\n

First up, a beautiful design influenced by John Piper\u2019s landscapes. The motif depicts a Welsh Legend where a wizard makes a wife out of flowers, who then gets transformed in to an owl.<\/p>\n

\"competition
2nd Place \u2013 Fake Face<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2nd Place \u2013 Fake Face<\/h3>\n

This work was created at the turn of the year, a time of transition which the artist feels; \u201ceveryone who creates art works suffers with the evolution of time\u201d and this work represents this transitional period in a single moment.<\/p>\n

\"competition
3rd Place \u2013 Holly Greenwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3rd Place \u2013 Holly Greenwood<\/h3>\n

Finally this design, inspired by natural elements eroding through time, uses repetition to represent the transition through time and what effects it has on the natural environment.<\/p>\n

\"competition<\/a><\/p>\n

Best Foot Forward<\/h2>\n

As we stepped in to summer (and the blistering heatwave) we were looking to see how you would transform your artwork in to stunning products. What better way to get ready for the holiday season than design a custom pair of kicks? Here are the winners of our best foot forward<\/a> competition.<\/p>\n

\"competition
1st Place \u2013 Millie Epson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1st Place \u2013 Millie Epson<\/h3>\n

First place goes to this soulful print, which sat so well on the espadrilles, balanced by the colours of the heel. The print differs on each foot making these a beautifully unique pair of Espadrilles.<\/p>\n

\"competition
2nd Place \u2013 WEKEEPUP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2nd Place \u2013 WEKEEPUP<\/h3>\n

The contrasting patterns on each section are well balanced and the patterns used on this pair of super cool footwear speak of traditional materials in the modern context of digital printing.<\/p>\n

\"competition
3rd Place \u2013 Catharine Rowe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3rd Place \u2013 Catharine Rowe<\/h3>\n

These gorgeous toucans mirror and match to create a wearable product. Ever more, the print motifs continue to the back of the shoes making for an elegant pair of espadrilles.<\/p>\n

Next Up<\/h2>\n

You heard it here first, our next design contest<\/a> will launch on 16th July 2018. The design brief will be Neon Paradise and we certainly expect to see a wide range of retro scenes, saturated sunsets and vaporwave escapist imagery.<\/p>\n
