Happy New Year!

January 1st, 2010

Well 2009 has been an exciting year for Connected Generation!
From launching the brand to seeing our designs on sale at The Clothes Show Live and on ASOS.com a lot has happened over the past 12 months.
2010 looks set to be just as exciting with plans for the label to be stocked in a major London flagship within the next few months!!!

We are now working on the Spring/Summer 2010 range, our trend spotters have been working hard to capture all the emerging trends out there. Here is what we think are going to be the key looks for early 2010:

In terms of prints florals are still dominating.

FLORALS:

     

Spots and stripes are also set to be big and work well with the emerging nautical trend.

SPOTS N STRIPES:

    

NAUTICAL:

    

Two key fabrics we spotted were denim and lace with shirts being a popular way to wear denim.

DENIM:

    

LACE:

     

In terms of silhouette bodycon is still hot with mini skirts being a key item. 

BODYCON:

    

Also emerging is the cropped t shirt and skater skirts.

CROPPED Ts:

   

SKATER SKIRTS:

    

So that’s what we think are going to be the key looks for next season but we need to know what YOU think, give us your comments or upload pics to the gallery of any trends you have spotted that you think will be big for spring.

Finally we just want to say a huge thanks to everyone that has helped and supported us in 2009 and wish everyone a fantastic 2010!

We have now started selling the range in a few shops around the country including MyYard in Bristol and the Laden Showrooms in Brick Lane.
We are also now stocked on ASOS.com!!!

A few weeks ago we had our first ever photo shoot so huge thanks to everyone involved who made it possible, with special thanks to Emma the model who managed to survive the whole day on a  diet of tea and Chewits!!

I COMPETITIONS!

May 1st, 2009

Over the past few months our trend spotters have been out and about and have noticed a lot of I t shirts around at the minute, which has given us an idea for a competition…we want you to design a new version of this old classic!

The winning design will have a limited amount of garments printed to be sold here on the Connected Generation website. In addition the winner will receive 3 tickets for The Clothes Show London at Excel on Friday 29th May where they will also get to see their design go on sale!

The design must be your own work and should be a black and/or red line drawing on a white background. The design must incorporate the I symbols and can include text or illustration. All entries must be in JPEG format 400px wide by 603px high and no larger than 1MB. All images must be uploaded to the gallery by 6pm Monday 11th May 2009.

All the designs uploaded to the site will be displayed in the gallery where other Connected Generation users can rate them. The three highest rated designs will then be put to a vote. The design that receives the most votes will be the winner and get to see their  design on sale!

If you have any further questions just email us.

So that’s it, so get scribbling and have a fab bank holiday weekend!

Good Luck xxx

CONNECTED GENERATION GOES LIVE!

December 18th, 2008

Well it’s an exciting (and nail biting) time here at CONNECTED GENERATION! After lots of hard work and quite a few late nights we are almost ready to launch the label.

We’re hoping to offer something a bit different to the world of fashion by encouraging YOU the customers to get involved in every aspect of the business.

From uploading your pictures to the gallery to voting for your favourite designs and keeping us up to date on the hottest trends in music, fashion and art. We really want you to get involved and become part of the CONNECTED GENERATION!

We send our team of trend spotters to as many clubs, gigs and festivals as possible but we also need you to let us know what’s out there so if you think you’ve discovered the next Justice or Banksy send a message and let us know!

We have also taken up a stall at London’s super trendy Backyard Market. It’s on every Sunday, so pop along and say hello. That’s it for now, hope you enjoy the site!  X
