Spring/Summer 2012 trends...



                                                    Images from ELLE magazine March 2012


Been flicking through this months issue of ELLE magazine and fell in love with the many prints and colours gracing the catwalks and shops in this colourful season! Everthing from clashing digital prints (Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto) and patterns to poppy pastels and floaty pleats; it seems S/S 12 is alive in colour and fun! Everything is immersed in detailed patterning and print and so different to each piece. I especially like a dress by Mary Katrantzou which she designed for Topshop, (see the first image at the top) made from Polyester and digitally printed. Jonathan Saunders also had some similarly bright cocktail colours with more intricate and folklore style patterns.
I think with my scarf designs I will aim to explore a few different colour palettes when I start printing, as there are an array of colours on the catwalk this season. It will also be interesting how changing the colour palette could change the mood/style of the print too.
