It is wonderful to see young designers get the recognition they deserve.  Further to my report on 19th July on winners of  Texprint 2010, announced at the First View event held at The Triangle Building at Chelsea College of Art, here are a couple more pictures to share.   Photos are by James McCauley.
Among this year's six prizes, the Colour prize has been won by Andrew Boyd (pictured above) of Cleveland College of Art & Design, sponsored by Pantone Europe. Judging the competition, designer Wakako Kishimoto said: “Andrew’s work shows he has an eye for something new and he knows the value of something alien.”




Designs by Interior Fashion prize winner Andrew Stevenson

Meanwhile the Interior Fashion prize has been won by Andrew Stevenson, a graduate of the Royal College of Art. The prize, given by the Sanderson Art in Industry Trust, was chosen by the textile designer Donna Wilson on behalf of prestige home interior design store Heal’s.
Through a rigorous selection process, each year Texprint mentors 24 of the most gifted textile designers to graduate from UK art and design schools, bringing them together to network and present their work to some of the most important names in the industry. This year's 24 finalist-designers will next present their work at the Indigo fair (as part of prestigious Première Vision Pluriel group of trade events in Paris) in September 14-16, 2010 and the prize presentation ceremony will take place on September 15 at 3.30pm. This participation is valuable for the young designers as Premiere Vision Pluriel is an important trade event for all sectors of the apparel, fabric, accessories and interior textile industries.  It will be the ideal showcase for them to appeal to potential clients and future employers.  This September Paris event will also mark the official handover from Texprint’s chairman Julius Schofield to Barbara Kennington.
