Moving right along in our series of posts highlighting the most important Resort 2015 runway trends, we have abstract, painterly brush stroke prints. Keeping the color palette minimal or subdued will give designs a more sophisticated feel to an otherwise youthful and chaotic trend.

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.
