With the new Spring shows literally just around the corner, I’ve nearly missed the window of opportunity to gush about all the incredible print trends the Resort collections had to offer. Alas, the goodness shall not be wasted. I’ll be recapping my favorite trends over the next few days, starting with a set of florals that would be worthy of any local art gallery. Paired with bold stripes, fragmented, and tossed with artful, expressive brush strokes – these postmodern florals have a quirky sophistication.

A round up of our favorite prints in the most publicized color of the year: Tangerine Tango. It’s not a bad representation of the season’s top print trends, either… from florals, plaids, and paisleys all the way to Hieronymous Bosch!

We all expect to see floral prints in a spring show, but several designers have seemingly reinvented the floral using digital media and printing techniques. You might call it fashion forward, I like to think of it as florals from the future. I’m not sure who’s ready to rock this trend just yet, but I love it and imagine we’ll be seeing more of it as accessibility to technology continues to grow.
