Basic geo prints get a black tie upgrade in these sleek and sultry designs from the Fall 2013 runway shows. Bold shapes, linear elements and symmetry are the key elements needed to capture this print trend. This is definitely the type of LBD we like to see here at Aaryn West.
Although this textural trend isn’t entirely new, it’s so expansive that it deserves it’s own post. It only seems natural that the resurgence of prints in fashion and interior design would spawn an exploration of thread and the fiber arts, spilling over to all facets of art and design. Embroidery has become so incredibly popular, and is popping up in all kinds of unexpected places. When contrasted with flat, two dimensional imagery it creates an almost surreal juxtaposition of texture and technique. If you’re a tactile person like I am, you’ll have no problem finding ways to add a little embroidered goodness into your life.
