Fabric selection

In selecting fabrics for my final collection or designs, I get inspiration from African paintings. The bright colours in the paintings remind me of the African prints. They are always bright and have alot of solid colours in them. They are eye catching no doubt and stand out among other kinds of fabrics. If I am looking for a plain fabric to use in ma collection, I pick the colour out of the paintings. I used these colours because they are bold and strong. African print materials represent maturity and growth. And with African prints, it helps in combining colours for other upcoming projects because of the numerous colours in one print.
