GBSB Ep5 Inspiration: Working Out Athleisure
From activewear and French terry to technical fabrics and appliqué, we're taking inspiration from Sports Week on The Great British Sewing Bee
This is colour turned all the way up. An Italian ex-designer viscose challis covered in a lively, almost painted floral, mixing hot pink, raspberry, scarlet and orange with flashes of turquoise, cobalt, leafy green and warm yellow. There is so much going on in the print, yet the colours work brilliantly together. It has that slightly artistic, less-than-perfect floral style that stops it feeling too neat or traditional.
The cloth itself is wonderfully soft and fluid, with the easy movement you want from a good viscose challis. At approximately 133gsm, it is light enough for summer but not insubstantial, and the drape will really show off all that colour. A fabulous choice for swishy dresses, gathered skirts, wide trousers, blouses, shirts and jumpsuits. Italian deadstock, ex-designer and definitely not one for shrinking violets.
