We love a good photo-based placement print here at Aaryn West, so we were excited to see several great examples on the runway featuring scenic nature views. This season we’re seeing the trend lean slightly away from realism and more toward fine art in some way. They appear subtly removed from reality, slightly enhanced by color, blur, or traditional fine art techniques.
Today we’re turning the spotlight on a print trend we’ve been seeing a lot of lately, and one that we’re completely bonkers for: scribble art. Inspired by the free-form musings of fine artists like Cy Twombly, scribble prints are an explosion of color and texture. This spring we’ve spotted this trend on everything from the runway to shoes, and even book covers. Here’s a collection of some of our favorite examples from around the web.
Simplified floral motifs with a folkloric twist and black grounds were well represented in several Fall 2013 runway collections. There were so many great looks fitting this trend, it was a challenge deciding on three to feature!
Heart prints had such a strong presence in the Fall 2013 collections that they couldn’t be overlooked as a print trend. Whether presented in a basic repeat, or jazzed up with geometric and linear details, they are sure to add a nostalgic and youthful charm to your print collection.
We often turn to runway shows to find the newest in graphic and print inspiration, but we noticed a few overlapping trends that you can already find in stores for Spring. Here are a few looks you can get your hands now, without having to wait for Fall to roll around.
