We start our extensive review of Spring 2015 runway print trends with a sweet take on the traditional spring floral. Infused with light and a touch of blur, these airy ombre fades add just enough of a modern twist to a look that never goes out of style. Be sure to check out the new collections from Carolina Herrera and Monique Lhuillier for additional examples of how to approach this trend.

The Resort season always brings us a few trends with a tropical vibe, which is only natural as the name itself implies post-winter travels. This season, that tropical trend takes the form of brightly colored feathers, realistically rendered and arranged in neo-psychedelic fashion. Whether used alone or combined with floral elements or even other animal skins, you’ll be sure to end up with a unique group of prints that buyers will flock to.

The spring shows were absolutely full of lace, which proved to be one of the most commonly utilized textural trends. While there was a strong feminine tilt to many of the collections, we saw lace utilized in both traditional and modern ways. Grandmothers everywhere would approve.
Preparing for the LA Textile show put a bit of a speed bump in posting our reviews of the recent Spring 2013 runway shows, but over the next two weeks we’ll be sharing our favorite print trends until we’re all caught up.
We start today with a trend that we predict will really make a splash come next spring. Yep, we had to say it.
Inspired by this amazing beaded dress from Naeem Khan‘s Resort collection, today’s color story is icy cool with a sense of calm sophistication. Perhaps even a bit futuristic. I’m really not a fancy lady, but owning a dress like this would be a complete game changer.
