NewGen30: a new collaboration between Bags of Ethics and the British Fashion Council

newgen30-supreme-creations

2023 is a special year—it marks the 30th anniversary of the British Fashion Council (BFC) NEWGEN, a program that’s been a launchpad for emerging fashion stars, including the iconic Alexander McQueen.

To celebrate and support future talents, eight NEWGEN Alumni designers have donated signature prints.

These tote bags aren’t just fashionable; they’re practical and sturdy. Made from strong canvas with reinforced bases and lined with cotton.

Inside pockets for your reusable bottle, and an additional pocket for your phone, keys, and coins.

The base has feet, and the handles are padded to fit over your wrist or be carried in your hand.

They’re eco-friendly, non-toxic inks and crafted with care in our manufacturing facility in South India.

Plus, every bag you buy helps the British Fashion Council Foundation nurture young UK designers.

Mary Katrantzou:

Mary Katrantzou’s ‘Dynasty’ print from the FW2011 Collection draws inspiration from global artefacts,with a rooster symbolizing Chinese culture’s luck. It beautifully blends diverse trinkets and collectables.

The Joy print of SS21 pays homage to traditional Nigerian fabric, while SS23’s ‘Africa Is Limitless’ collection celebrates diverse African cultures.

The A logo print in SS23 embodies Africa’s rich elements. It’s a stylish ode to Africa’s boundless inspiration.

Halpern:

London’s Michael Halpern, famed for his eponymous brand, blends glamour and hyper-femininity in homage to classical couture.

In the Autumn Winter 2021 Collection, vibrant optimism shines through diverse structures and colours.

Silk scarf dresses with hand-drawn details inspired by studio paintings are reimagined into graphic forms. Bold female nude figures adorn silk twill gowns, celebrating femininity and empowerment.

Christopher Kane:

The donated print from SS22, known as The Psyche Floral, draws inspiration from 1970s floral bedspreads and psychedelics, offering a playful and subversive twist.

Bold and captivating colours are the key elements, aiming to evoke joy and positive energy in viewers.

Green Businesses

It seems today the trending topic in the business world is ‘going green’. These moves by big businesses to try and cut carbon emissions, use greener energy, and improve their effect on the environment, are all a positive movement towards a greener future. However, at a time when ‘green’ is in, we want to know how many of these claims are ‘greenwashing’, painting businesses in a positive light whereas in reality their practices are far from sustainable.

Decoding Sustainability Jargon

At Supreme Creations we know that sustainability can be confusing. There is a lot of jargon thrown about, and it’s hard to know what the hell anyone is on about. We thought it would be helpful to make a glossary of these new sustainability terms, and define them in an easy, simple way so that you may use this as a reference point when talking, reading, or thinking about sustainability.

Simple patterns to print on your tote bags

A spot repeat pattern is can give surprisingly varied prints when small changes are made. Small dots give a traditional and uniform appearance. Patterns like this are great for conventional and classic designs, or for printed inner linings. Use a half-drop repeat for a more directional print. Dense coloured spots on a white background give fabric a fresh look that is perfect for all purposes – from kitchen to cosmetics.

Designs for Tote Bags

A tote bag’s design should be eye-catching and unique, but also be easy to pair with a variety of outfits. Black and white is a classic colourway for almost any textile product, which drew me to it. To make sure that the bag stands out amidst the black and white, geometric patterns are very interesting to bring a ‘pop’ that makes a tote bag different to others.
