Milan Fashion Week – Design Sofisticato

Prints were front and center in Milan during the Italian Fashion Week! Juxtaposed to London’s exploration of brights, in Milan we saw muted tones that gave an overall darker sensibility.  We also noted photographs & artwork translated directly onto fabrics, and new twists on classic animal prints.

Click the image below to explore all of Milan Fashion week, and get started making a new collection on EzTextiles.com! We’ve got animal prints, geometrics, and florals to give you a jump-start, all of which are fully editable so you can easily download your designs and  recolor them with your unique color palette!

Military doesn’t always have to include camouflage prints.What we love most about this trend is the color palette! Make use of saturated olives, forest greens and deep navy hues in your collection to translate this trend  in a more subtle and sophisticated way.

Trending – Fair Isle

In the midst of this Winter season,there has been a noticeable presence in bulky sweaters,cable knits,oversized cardigans, and cozy furs. The strongest must have trend is coming from Fair Isle patterns!

Once thought of as “on the verge of tacky” holiday themed patterns, a.k.a. Fair Isles, have made quite a comeback in nearly every market, and on everything from accessories and apparel to home items. Runway designers have helped  popularize Fair Isles this Fall 2010 season in their Womens and  Menswear lines and we are loving it!

The traditional knitting technique originated in a tiny isle off northern Scotland and has remained unscathed throughout decades!
