Spring Trends

Today we're showing a fun mix of prints inspired by our spring trends! First up is the Menagerie, an abstract and textural color play on a sophisticated animal print.

 The Glamour Graphic trend combines statement stripes with chic geos and plays on the idea of a graphic mixed print series.

Our Multi-Florious trend is a mixture of different florals with a painterly impressionist feel to a more 70s graphic vibe.

Florals and Colorful Contrast

Today we're looking at color inspiration for the spring!

Soft pastels mixed with eccentric colors provide a fun and fresh approach to making bold statements through color. MSGM and Peter Pilotto both show how the same color palette can be transformed through color blocking and florals.

Tory Burch, Zimmerman and Rag and Bone add warmth to their prints with pops of yellow. They  continue with color blocking and florals while mixing unexpected touches of green, orange, magenta and blues.

Prints on the Page

Today, we're looking back at WWD's street style edit from this past week and are sharing our take using a combination of our original prints! We can't help but obsess over these florals and dream of warmer days!

Romantic Spring Florals

Today on the blog, we are continuing our Spring RTW recap with Ulla Johnson, Rebecca Taylor, and Cinq a Sept, focusing on flirty and feminine florals. These designers use small scale floral arrangements and tiered ruffles to create an ethereal look.

Soft pastels and larger flowers also continue to make a graceful entrance on the runway. Luisa Beccaria and Emilia Wickstead add flair to flowing silhouettes with a mix of roses and daisies. These bold florals placed on light backgrounds create subtle and beautiful statement garments.

Spring Stripe Update

Stripes are all over the Spring 2018 runway as designers experiment with variation in color, line weight, dynamic movement and direction.

Tome and Escada show how you can use white to break up bold colors with contrasting horizontal stripes. Tome's combination of fine and bold lines in primary colors creates a whimsical take on traditional stripes. Escada's mix of vivid florals on black and white stripes creates a statement that will brighten up your day!

Taking stripes in another vibrant direction are Nanette Lepore, Tomas Maier, and Self Portrait, who use analogous colors to create dimension by varying the direction of stripes. Sticking to a smaller range of color, the focal point on the stripes allows your eye to go with the flow.

Adding an air of cool simplicity, Audra and Whit use soft earth tones as the palette for stripes. By mixing the direction and experimenting with analogous colors, they show how stripes can be dressed up or down.
