Home – Cups of Plenty

Who says dishes should be dull? Are you a Hard Goods designer looking for inspiration? If so check out the cupboard shot below and then see how we used our Vintage and Print Libraries to develop some cute cups of our own! Mimicking the color scheme but adding our own twist, we hope you like what we created!

Home – Cinco de Mayo

In this day of celebrating Mexican heritage and pride, we were inspired by embellished kitchenware typically found in traditional Mexican cuisine. Since the essence of this culture is defined by intricate designs, festive colors, and folk motifs, we made sure to look for similar ethnic and geometric prints. We visualized those patterns into some basic items found in the EzTextiles product section such as plates, cups, silverware and novelty items.

If you love our Mexican inspired patterns but you aren’t a hardgoods designer, don’t fret- download the patterns by themselves!

Color – Royal Blue

All around the world we’re hearing wedding bells, and EzTextiles wants to wish the very best to the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

If you were one of the millions to rise early to see the event live, you probably noticed a lot of the guests were wearing shades of blue! Of course we swooned over Kate’s wedding dress itself, but we were really inspired by the vibrant Royal Blues that kept appearing over and over! We saw some great photos from the big event and had to share! Then we headed to our ever-growing library of prints and made a color story that looks and feels just as Royal! Using shades of the same color can be a great way to tie your collection together and allow you to get creative with the prints themselves.

Check out the rest of the royal blue inspired collection and see what else you can find in our library!

Menswear – The Flowerman

Who says men can’t wear floral prints?

The Rolling Stones made it acceptable for men in the mid 60s and 70s to wear florals, in fact it became a fashion statement! We think its time to bring it back now, especially that 70’s style is rolling back around for the Spring season as a major trend!

Dainty pretty florals need not apply here… Instead we foresee a more embellished vintage feel of foulard floral motifs, intricate decorative foliage and stamped flowers on mens shirtings!

Add a twist to your menswear line by exploring these vintage florals!

Prints – Tutti Frutti

Its all about fruits!

A major trend for Spring/Summer 2011 is a strong focus on all kinds of fruits, from apples to lemons even cherries! This kitschy conversational has made quite a buzz amongst editors, stylists and bloggers whom have expressed a liking to the trend. Find fruits in magazine shoots, trend boards- even American Vogues’ Anna Wintour was spotted wearing an all too familiar banana print!

We too love this ‘tutti frutti’ trend! Check out our concept board below using prints from our very own royalty-free Vintage Library!

Download these fruit patterns and more from the rest of the collection!
