Prints Revolution

June 20, 2011

From pretty polka dots at Marc Jacobs to Giles' renaissance paintings and Proenza's clashing tribals, Autumn/Winter's catwalks aren't shy of a bold print or two.

 

Prints are on the Autumn/Winter Runways. Fashion TrendsThe explosion of prints over the past few months has infiltrated every area of the stylish woman’s wardrobe, from accessories to tops, shoes, and even—that last frontier—swimwear and lingerie. Ask Suno’s Erin Beatty, whose African-inspired collections pile print on print, and the explanation’s obvious: It’s an antidote to all the dull stuff out there.

“I think that every time the economy goes sour, what people try to do is go back to basics,” Beatty told Style.com. “It’s because that’s safe and they know it’s going to sell and yada yada yada. But I don’t think that’s necessarily what people want, or how people truly want to express themselves, regardless of the economy. So many people turned back to basics that prints started to feel new and fresh again. That’s what we saw—working with these African fabrics, everything felt so new and original. And that’s exactly how women want to portray themselves.”

It’s certainly how designers from Marc Jacobs to Alberta Ferretti have been portraying the women on their runways. The current styling trend for clash-and-go is still the way forward for next season, so be brave!
