About
My name is Erin Chegwyn and I am a textile designer specializing in print design. I am passionate about colour, mark making, and contemporary design. Currently, I am in my final year at Nottingham Trent University, where I have developed valuable skills in my creative practice, helping me to discover who I am as a designer. I've used AI to help me create design criteria's, and to help me create the prints themselves, infusing a futuristic edge, elevating innovation within my work. I have had the opportunity to take part in live industry briefs and competitions, where I was fortunate enough to be awarded first place in the TU Sainsbury's competition and win a placement at NEXT menswear design department.
‘Stardust’ offers digital and hand-printed designs, with placement and repeated prints, that pay respects to the creativity of late artist, David Bowie. Understanding Bowie’s characteristics, iconic fashion influences and performance strategies, have informed my designs - especially my silk scarf collection. Using imagery, characteristics and studied habits from Bowie's life to influence my colour choices, patterning, textures and finishes, I want participants to feel inspired by creativity through emotion presented through contemporary prints, promoting positivity.
