VV Rouleaux

Passementerie was the key word that I was going to be exploring. The top company that knew all about this was the well known ‘VV Rouleaux’ being a textile designer in practice, this talk was one I consider to be the best, being told not only the fun side to textiles as I no myself, but also the real side of business, design and production, being star struck by the designs, ideas and outcomes from the textile company ‘VV Rouleaux’ talk gave me a real insight to business of this kind in the present day, but also some insight on how things might look in the future.

We were able to see bundles and bundles of final pieces, designs, samples and embellishment samples made by this company, but one that stood out most to me was the horse hair weaved samples, this style of work sparked ideas for me later on in the project, I could consider in both weave and embroidery,’ tones’  the horse hair samples had a variety of different tones that shine amongst the piece, this is something that I could really consider, horse hair not being a very popular media to use, but something much more different and unique, this gave me an idea to use much more interesting yarns and threads in my samples, ones that show a variety of different tones, creating lots of samples that have many different qualities, so it does exactly the same job as what the horse hair ‘VV Rouleaux’ sample did for me, attracting or catching a customers eye that hasn't seen anything quite like this before. 

   

An amazing sense of structure, media, pattern, colour and design, these two samples above were my favorite and very inspiring samples from the 'VV Rouleaux' range, the two pictures will be images that I will keep referring back to during my project, I would like to take some qualities from these images for my samples in this project.
