This week, Sam Leutton of 'Leutton Postle' came in to hold a lecture about their work and their practice. They are a knitwear brand who collaborate as a pair to design very modern and colourful collections that appear to be aimed at a younger audience but remain high end. They study and keep up to date with the latest trend forecasts however they also describe themselves as 'unlimited'. This means that although they look at trends and what is going on currently, they do not conform to what other people are doing. They attempt to create their own forecasts to create their collections. This is something I am interested in doing as I feel that a broad knowledge of current trends and happenings is very important however I also feel that this may hold the creative process back if adhered to completely.
