Trending – Spring Novelty Prints

Fruits, Animals, Everyday objects…….as prints?

For Spring 2011, designers have taken a whimsical approach in their design process. Novelty is proving to be a dominant trend in prints.

The ongoing mix & match concept goes hand in hand with this playful use of random objects and abstract forms to make fun conversational patterns!

Trending – Ripe Stripes

According to this recent Stylecaster report, stripes are a major trend for Spring 2011.

Runway shows had everything from your typical horizontal symmetrical stripe to stripes in varying weights and sizes, even find stripes in vertical layouts. For Spring, think technicolor and 70’s prep style…no more boring pastels and muted stripes here!

Go bold with our stripe inspired board!
