Designing Cashmere scarves and silk tunics for the brand, Simone Bruns, has been an enjoyable experience. Simone’s unique and vibrant style is evident in her choice of colors and painterly prints.
As a Surface Print Designer, my job is to get the right prints for her and figure out the best color combinations that go well for her collections. Once the print is created, finding the right colors for production seems to be the next challenging task. When we design a print and assign a particular color, it is most likely not the same when the production is done for the sample. Inorder to get the right colors for Cashmere scarves, you can always ask a color guide from the producer. This color guide provides small colored swatches that would be printed on the Cashmere scarves. This will help you to find the right background colors.
For Cashmere scarves and Knitwear, we use CONSINEE where they provide an immersive book filled with different shades of colored swatches.
