LONDON FASHION WEEK COLLABORATION: AW17

On January 7, bold branding hit the runway with flicks of dark navy, plum and camel, showcased on RBIS core solutions.Astrid partnered with RBIS for Autumn/Winter 2017 to create new innovations in heat transfer applications, featuring feathers as an elevated interpretation of Astrid’s signature branding: applying a water-color feather effect with her logo as a heat transfer, with a transparent effect.

The collection also featured woven soft seal circular patches with a woven herringbone pattern, and clear silicone stripes that follow the direction of the pattern.

“I love how the graphics created a contrast between the matte paper and the almost liquid-looking print, creating a hangtag that looks unique and makes you want to touch it, which is exactly what I want people to do with my collections as well.”
