Fashion Elements: Prints

11/15/2013

Prints are massive in Fashion right now, but do you know the proper names for some of the top print trends? A print can be defined as a design applied to a fabric by means of a mechanical or hand method of printing.

I wanted to share with you some of my favourite top print trends and how to identify them. Which print will you wear next?

Floral Print

A floral print can take on many forms, petite lady like roses to over-sized abstract flowers. From season to season this is one print that remain a staple.

Floral printed trousers are everywhere right now. Zara has a really nice selection.

Art Deco Print

Originating in Paris in the 1920's, Art Deco came from a period of time when society began to embrace technology and travel. 

Known for its clean and strong lines. Think the Chrysler building in New York.

Today's take on Art Deco prints are extremely literal and bold. How stunning is this black and white Art Deco inspired dress by Peter Pillotto?

Geometric Print

Geometry is the science of mathematics dealing with shape, size and space. When it comes to fashion, a geometric print is comprised of a series of shapes. It naturally has a very tribal feel to it.

Miu Miu is notorious for playing with geometric shapes. Makes sense as Miuccia Prada pulls inspiration from the 1960's for Miu Miu often.

Scenic Print

Take a photo of the busy streets in Tokyo, now print that image onto a garment. THERE, now you have a scenic print. The graphic can be applied before the garment construction process or after.

By the way, any scene can be used, not just my busy streets in Tokyo example. Think a star filled sky, cityscape, or a Hawaii sunset.

Prints are playful and exciting. Don't be afraid to mix your prints either.

Happy Sewing!
