David Bradley is print textiles designers who has a complete obsession with colour and pattern- which you can see straight away from his work. He is inspired by illusion which also comes across pretty strongly in his work. He uses techniques such as screen printing and dye to create his fabrics while he also uses pleats throughout all his fabrics, by doing this he achieves movement around the body through surface decoration.
He lives and works in London and in 2011 he won the Texprint award for producing fashion fabrics. His work has featured in magazines such as British Vogue, AnOther magazine, Dazed and Confused, Tank and V Magazine. His work is also on show in London, Milan and Shanghai.
I really like Bradley's work because of the bright colours and the way the fabrics drape. The pleats really pull the fabric together to create the full illusion that he try's to capture. By the way he places the fabric, it looks as if it is delicate and extremely light weight.
I think I might give using pleats in a fabric ago to create my own illusion...
