Clashing Prints
Forget colour blocking, now it’s all about the pattern blocking!
Why choose one print when you can have two? Kitri Studio have combined bold naive florals with statement polka dots to bring a fresh take on this season’s hottest trend: patchwork prints!

Trend report from Paris
Having visited both PV Paris and Texworld, I have put together a selection of looks that I thought were interesting and new. We will cover flowers in a separate post and concentrate here on the other areas. These were notably mark making and geometric prints to carry colour and the most prevalent looks based around a strong tropical trend.
Pleated diagonal stripes
Splodge and random colour carrying prints on fabrics with surface interest, some with shots of lurex.
Pleated ombres in pastels to brights in harmonious colours.
Retro geometrics.
Beautiful tropicals with exotic birds.
Wild animals in the jungle around every corner.
Surprising skins that are not as they seem.
Elegant Tropicals in soft vintage colours.
Deep lush Forest with interesting leaves.
Dior Tie Dyes
Lightness, fluidity and femininity – the story for Dior’s most recent collection. Muted tones bleeding into more saturated hues, the collection of beautifully executed tie dye prints has really put Dior back on the map as a leading originator of print trend.

Sublitex have an extensive library of tie dye prints that they have coloured to reflect the colour trend exploited by Dior.
Butterflies
Last year we were all fruity and this year we are re- visiting the British favourite flying insect. The look ranges from very realistic groups, diaphanous more abstract clouds, botanical to a more folkorique approach. Whatever your preference Sublitex have looks suitable for blouses through to the staple holiday maxi dress.

Best of Pre Fall 2019
As many of us emerge from the annual holiday hibernation our minds leap frog over the prospect of Spring Summer 2019 and turn towards planning our collections for Pre Fall 2019. The Print Affair are here to offer you our favourite prints from the shows to quick start the process. Happy New Year to you all and welcome back!
Ulla Johnson
Rusty ochres and earthy hues to compliment, the Ulla Johnson collection is a sophisticated colour palette with beautiful feminine prints. We love the wall covering chosen for the shoot as much as the fashion prints, complimenting the fresh vintage twist.
Carolina Herrera
With a varied collection of prints, Carolina Herrera combines animal, illustrated blooms and ditsies all in one. Pinks and burgundies are constants throughout keeping the colourpalette pretty and great for transitional months.
Chloe
Chloe have returned with a feminine winter BoHo look, typical of the French fashion house. The collection includes Sarasa and pretty florals entrenched with paisley, a great combination for the winter season.
La Double J
Featured earlier in the year on The Print Affair, Italian brand La Double J have now become a highlight in the fashion week schedule. Bold colours and psychedelic pattern, the fashion brand certainly inject fun into the pre fall 19 season. Sumptuous wall paper here again!
3.1 Phillip Lim
Phillip Lim is bringing back the art of the conversational print. Patterns feeling very loose and hand drawn, this is an exciting new trend to watch for the upcoming season.
Versace
Versace return with their inimitable bold style: Animal combinations of every kind, chains, baroque style; the collection is instantly recognizable. The dark runway show made the prints stand out even more
Oscar De La Renta
The Oscar De La Renta Spring collection which had Moroccan and Indian influences went down amazingly with critics and it is great to see that they have amplified the same mood in their autumn collection. Rich textures and colours make this show decedent with bold ornate print statements.
