BA (Hons) Textiles
Louise Leighton
My designs are an exploration of striking imagery, colour and digital techniques. Living abroad has given me the love of travel and seeing new places and cultures. It has inspired my designs, which are an exploration of striking imagery, colour and digital techniques. I am intrigued by the strong structures and lines found across architecture and nature and this together with my love of vivid colours, has contributed to my working style.
Intended for the high-end fashion market, my contemporary prints have each evolved from my personal compilation of photographs. These photographs, which have been taken on my travels at home and abroad, including Barcelona, Vancouver, Geneva, have then been developed through digital manipulation into bespoke abstract prints full of life colour and movements.
