Once again it’s springtime and inspiration is in full bloom. Flowers have always been a source of beauty, and quite the staple for inspiration as a textile designer. But lately I’ve come across several designers who are using them in some really marvelous ways.
Petals, buds, leaves and twigs have transcended their common status as a mere object of beauty to become an instrument of design, popping up in some rather unlikely places. I am especially enamored with the leafy portraits of blogger and designer Justina Blakeny’s ongoing series Face The Foliage. All of the below designs have me looking at flowers in a whole new way.

It dawned on us recently that while we’ve been on Instagram for some time now, we’ve done very little to promote our feed. It’s a great place to get a quick fix for inspiration, get a sneak-peek into our various projects, and see who we love to follow. Find us via the Instagram app under AarynWest, or on the web here.

It’s rather hard to find adequate words describing how much we love our clients, with Dallas brand Hi! Expectation being among a very short list of our absolute favorites to work with. Creative Director Sofi Sugasti has such an expressive aesthetic and love of intensely bold colors, allowing us to really push the limits of our design capabilities. Below are just a handful of our favorite looks from their Spring 2014 Collection, which has already begun trickling into boutiques.
To see the entire collection and gather more information on Hi! Expectation hop on over to their website!
It’s an exciting time for Aaryn West; We’ve been expanding the collection with a number of great new designers, engaging the community with expert posts, experimenting with surface products, and our art is on some amazing designer fashions.
Preview Our Entire Lineup
Gone are the curated experiences of our old system. With this iteration we’re giving each client 72 hours of unfettered access to preview our full collection. This allows our clients to review art otherwise missed by the scope of a request. We’ve made the system easier to use, allowing you to sort via the newest art, by category, by tag and by searching. Allowing registered users unrestricted access benefits us too, we can now focus on bringing new art to the viewer and getting you faster access to the latest artwork.
Shortlist the Perfect Print
The Online Collection is now equipped with a shortlist system for your convenience. The system is easy to use and can be hidden for unobstructed views when necessary. One click additions can be added via buttons next to every print. Save the artwork you’re interested in for later via your browser, persistent across visits. Add notes to your shortlisted prints, request recolors and send your list to us for sales responses, all from within the interface.
Expanding Client Services
With this rollout we mark a new year of improvements for our client services. Along with the updated collection, we’ve also brought our recolor and bespoke request forms online for registered clients. Each form outlines the basics we need to get your request moving, we’ve included upload slots for specifications you may need to send. We hope the Online Collection and Client Hub will help clients new and old stay more connected with our rolling trend updates. None of these updates change how you currently work with us, you’ll get the same personal service you always have. We’ll be updating and improving throughout the year, we always love to hear your feedback so please get in touch!

In honor of the product launch, clients registering for the Client Hub this week can receive a free recolor for any prints in their shortlist.
