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!

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!

Prints – 70′s Comeback

Reflecting on the 70s trend from our recent post…we compiled a few prints that capture the essence of the bright, fun, and groovy decade. We found that funky abstract florals, bold geo’s, and psychedelic colorways are the perfect mix to accurately represent this rising trend in textiles!

See the rest of our 70s inspired collection!

Trending – Retro 70′s

It’s no secret that 70’s is going to be a major hit for S/S 2011. During Fashion Week NY and Milan, designers have shown a particular interest in going retro by using unique colorwayssilhouettes, and accessories in defining the groovy decade.

We searched through our archives and found a vintage issue of Vogue dating back to 1970! Check out this spread we found featuring a strong focus on bold and graphic prints of the time. We love the cartoon aspect and bright colors! This time period has a lot to offer for fresh new takes in prints, graphics and cool motifs.
