Our next designer interview comes from another of the winners of our Inspired By…Design a Dress competition, where entrants had to create a design for our gorgeous Custom Printed Bodycon Dress.<\/h3>\n

Meet our next winner, Rebecca Yoxall.<\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: Hi Rebecca! Congrats on winning our design competition. Can you tell us a bit about your winning design?<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/strong>: My design is called “Tropical Vibe<\/em>.”\u00a0\"rebecca-yoxall-printed-dress\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: And what is the inspiration behind your design? Is there a story, which accompanies it?<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/strong>: I am always inspired by flora and fauna, island’s with a sense of paradise and warm, bright and tropical colours. I usually paint in watercolour but I have recently discovered a product called Brusho by Colourcraft, which is fantastic for creating vibrant colours. This particular piece was made while I was experimenting with Brusho.<\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: Do you have a website or online store, which we can share with our readers?<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/strong>: I created a series of floral designs, which I produced as beach bags and sold them on my website, www.rebeccayoxallart.co.uk<\/em>. I also have an etsy store and a Facebook page. I set up my website myself earlier this year and anyone who knows me well, knows what a major achievement this is for me! I’d much rather have a paint brush in my hand than a computer mouse. It is still a bit rough around the edges but as my business grows, I’m sure I will continue to develop it further.<\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: What do you plan to do with your prizes?<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/strong>: I absolutely adore my dress<\/strong><\/a>, I am utterly over the moon with it! However, as I take a size 18 dress, it is just a tad too small for me, so instead of wearing it myself, I am going to give it to my sister for Christmas (shhh…don’t tell her!) I will use her as my model and photograph her in the dress for my website.<\/p>\n

I am also in the process of completing a fabulous bird design, which I intend on printing onto a scarf with the voucher I won. I can’t wait to get that done!<\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: How would you describe your style of design?<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/strong>: My style is feminine but not too pretty or chintzy and I think the dark colours and shades I use give my style more of a powerful statement. Throughout the year, there has been a lot of printed florals in fashion, but I prefer the stronger florals from jungle prints and bright, bold colours rather than small and dainty prints. I also think there are a lot of orange and coral tones in fashion at the moment, which inspired me. Also, the golden orange tones in my design give a nod towards gorgeous autumnal sunshine.<\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: If you could design any product on the Bags of Love website<\/strong><\/a>, what would it be?<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/strong>: It would be amazing to create a design for a personalised bedding set. I have always wanted to have my own custom printed duvet cover<\/strong><\/a>. I would make it the most intricate design with a variety of flowers, birds, butterflies, dragonflies and bees (my favourite) all intertwined with trailing stems and leaves. I would love it to be a whole scene that you could truly get lost in – it would be like falling into a wonderful enchanted dream every time you got into bed!<\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: That sounds amazing! We’d love to see a personalised bedding set like that. What product would you love to see on the Bags of Love website<\/strong><\/a> (if it doesn’t already exist?)<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/strong>: I think you pretty much have every personalised gift known to man! I would love to see some kind of package deal on Bags of Love, so customers ordering a few different items could get a discount. Maybe coordinating items. For example, if I wanted to order matching curtains and personalised cushions, or matching personalised mugs, coasters and a table cloth<\/strong><\/a>. It would be amazing to be able to purchase a living room or kitchen package at a discounted price…just an idea!<\/p>\n

Bags of Love<\/strong>: that is an excellent idea and we’ll definitely have a think about that!<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoyed Rebecca’s inspiring interview. We have one more to come, so make sure you check back for that.<\/p>\n
