I felt I had got as far as I could with the Ethnic Britain idea for the Cath Kidston brief for the YCN Awards, and it didn't really fit the brand.  So I decided to start working on another idea I had, to create a nostalgia themed pattern.  There was nothing I loved more as a little un, than to splash around in the rain and jump in puddles....just couldn't resist them.  So I thought to bring this forward.
