Now in its fitth year, Trends has launched a number of award winning designers including Emma Shipley (John Lewis Emerging Designer 2011), Chelsea Flower Show exhibitor, Suzi McLaughlin and new designer Suberna Begum. Innovative, exploratory, challenging, provocative are all words which are closely associated with the Trend project. Our partnership with Global Color Research™ and Mix Publications has provided new inspiration to drive forward trends prediction and represents a significant change in the way we embed trends and design development into the curriculum for interior, product and textile design.
