Prints – Seeing Spots

You don’t have to get your eyes checked – we’re seeing spots, too! We’re inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s art collaboration: ‘Infinity Dots Collection‘ for Louis Vuitton. Kusama is well known for her flowing and rhythmic polka dot patterns which seems perfect for fashion! This collaboration is a continuation of the idea of pairing art and fashion for the Louis Vuitton label. The first part of the collection will be available in stores July 11th which is a day before a retrospective of Kusama’s work at the Whitney Museum here in New York.

Take a peek at the polka dot prints from EzTextiles we paired with the inspirational images from the collaboration.

Paris Fashion Week – A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi

Closing out the month of fashion frenzy, Paris never ceases to disappoint! We were baffled by the eclectic mix of surrealism, dreamy impressionistic watercolors, eastern & western art and classic florals.  The wide array of ideas allows people of all tastes to find a collection to dazzle the senses.  We can’t put our finger on just one overall theme, which allows us the freedom to let our design aesthetic  wander to the unknown.

Try your hand at pairing unconventional prints with classic designs such as a foulard or polka dots! Why not create a collection of your own on EzTextiles and see where your imagination takes you! Don’t forget that our search function has many layers, so once you choose a search option in the drop down menu on the left, additional sub-menus appear to further deepen your search!

Streetlook – Hyper Houndstooth

Strolling the streets of Tribeca, we spotted this lovely lady wearing such an outstanding coat! Check out her over-sized houndstooth print! Right on trend, we love the use of red instead of the everyday black and white and of course we had to head to our library to see what we could come up with!

Getting huge print proportions is a snap on Eztextiles, because you can quickly zoom a print repeat in and out to make it just the right size! Visualizing just got a whole lot easier! Click the image below to check out our collection based off her delightful outerwear.

Designer Spotlight – London Fashion Week – Antoni & Alison

We love seeing new trends emerge so we had to spotlight Antoni & Alison, two designers from London who made their way back to the catwalk this year, after an almost 7 year hiatus.  Pairing shift dress silhouettes with striking trompe l’oeil silk screened fabrics, we saw a surreal and fresh attitude we hope sparks new motivation in designers around the world!

Color – NYFW Saturation Story

The Fashion World may have moved on to London but we have to highlight the colors we saw coming down the runway this past New York Fashion week! It was great to see the radiant palette, with an abundance of fiery oranges and a broad spectrum of blues!

After getting a glimpse, we had to check out EzTextiles and use the “Lock Color” function to see what we could find using the below image as inspiration! Click here to check out how you can easily find these Fall colors in our Library today!

NY Fashion Week – Overboard for Oversized

It’s nearing the close of New York Fashion Week, for the Autumn/Winter 2012/2013 season! We’ve had our eye on all the prints that have been walking down the runways. From fabrics that appear to be moving works of art to faux textures and photographic images, the trend seems to be overwhelmingly large scale!

That certainly gets our wheels turning, since it’s easy to start visualizing our ENTIRE 25 Million+ images in extra large scale!

Below you’ll see some designs that are blown out of proportion for a fresh new feel! After checking them out, why not get started designing your own?

Prints – Get Nailed

Do you design accessories?  If so, then I’m sure you’ve been noticing the exciting new nail art that’s been happening. We wanted to spotlight a favorite Blog of ours – The Illustrated Nail, and show you how we were inspired by her to create a design collection of our own! You may remember our post last November, where we first called out nail embellishment, but we just had to revisit the ever-present trend and say “WAY TO GO!” to Sophie for writing such an on-trend inspirational blog!

Check out her images in the first picture below, then scroll further to see how we created our own Nail Art inspirational board!
