Pin It!

I’ve recently been getting really into Pinterest, after my lecturers encouraged us to use it as part of our course. It’s such an important visual communication tool, as well as being so much fun to just flick through and have a look what everyone else is pinning and gathering inspiration for your own pin boards. It also allows you to create a personal and professional profile for future employees  My current Pinterest obsession is related to the mood boards we’re creating in lessons at the moment. The focus is colour palettes and creating colour stories. The obvious colour palette for me is monochrome. Practically my entire wardrobe is black, white and grey based, so it made sense for me to choose a colour theme that I clearly adore. 

Simply just typing Monochrome in to the search bar on Pinterest, I’ve been absolutely inundated with images showcasing the best in monochrome trends. From installations to colour gradients and basically just anything that incorporates the black and white theme, whether they be fashion related or not, all have given me a starting point for pinning my own images and helped inspire the direction of my mood board. 

Who'd have thought Zebras and mushrooms could provide such fashpiration

I absolutely adore this butterfly print, to me it almost looks like feathers. The use of the blue accent is something that has been on the catwalks quite a lot recently when offsetting monochrome palettes. And the red is a classic pairing with black and white. I myself will always pair a monochrome outfit with a red lip, it's one of my absolute favourite combinations and I feel this pattern perfectly illustrates this classic trend. 

I definitely want to keep my eye out for more similar designs and will probably pin them to my Pinterest when I find them: Grace Keating so go follow me (shameless plug).
