Creative Trend Company Mudpie Publishes SS13 Trend Books for Designers of Womenswear, Menswear and Kidswear

Mudpie trend books are proven trend resources used by the world’s largest retailers and brands, designers of apparel, graphics, consumer goods, paper products and packaging. The latest editions of Mudpie’s trend books contain a wealth of inspiration and creatively themed collections ready for designers to edit or customise.

This season Mudpie’s creative team has changed the layout of the trend books so that they have a cleaner, fresher appearance. More figure illustrations can be seen throughout the books as part of a "key look" page at the start of each collection, featuring essential shapes shown in monochrome to put focus on the silhouette. The inspirational imagery, fabric information and reference imagery is now interspersed with their creative team’s editable prints, graphics and garments, so that readers can easily see how Mudpie’s trend information will transcend into commercial collections. Variations are provided of graphics to show the versatility of the designs and different uses of colour.

Other features in this seasons books include fully editable DVD files which are now provided in ai, eps, jpg and psd where necessary for bitmap artwork.

The new books are now available internationally through the Mudpie network of distributors, as well as online through the Trend Bookshop www.trendbookshop.co.uk.

About MPD Trend books

Trend information: In depth trend information and analysis accompanies each book registered online in the form of an online magazine MPD Vision. Each trend is comprehensively presented through text, moodboards, colour, inspirational photography directed at the fashion, youth and sports sectors. For SS13 we have summarised the trend directions through our online magazine MPD Vision.

Colour Palettes: All the colours in our trend books are referenced to the Pantone Fashion & Home/Cotton Swatch files.

All books are presented in a minimally styled binder serving to emphasise the quality of the interior pages.

The editable files which accompany each book on DVD mean they are highly functional tools as well as bringing trend driven design and inspiration to hard pressed designers. Depending on the artwork the editable files are provided in vector formats, plus individual editable prints and graphics are supplied in ai, eps, jpg and psd. A low resolution pdf on each DVD assists users with file location.
