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.

Sublitex Prints – Batsheva Responce
We loved the Batsheva print so much, we thought we would delve into the Sublitex archive to find prints within a similar vein:

Merry Christmas from The Print Affair
Happy Holidays and New Year from the new look theprintaffair.com
Robert Vernet – Skins and Florals
This weeks trend has been skin and flowers for those planning for AW 2019. The look is rich and the skins more abstract as we have been predicting.
Batsheva
Prairie perfection, playful pattern and total floral overload. Let us introduce to you New York based ready to wear brand Batsheva. We stumbled across this gorgeous brand from various bloggers, it seems to be the must have maxi this season.
Former lawyer Batsheva Hay started playing around designing matching clothes for her and her daughter back in 2016. Gaining lots of attention from the fashion industry, she soon decided to start a business from this. Laura Ashley inspired, her collections celebrate femininity in the boldest way. Ditsy florals, lace trims and ruffles, the styles hark back to the 60’s and 70’s but injected with modern and updated finishes and prints.
Not only do the brand cater for all your feminine needs, but they also create beautiful dresses for girls. We love the way they have been shot with the oversized shoes and the funny wigs, straight out of the dressing up box.

Robert Vernet – Tie Dye
The hottest look this week from Robert Vernet studios are these sumptuous tie and dye prints. Echoing the recent trends, these are both colourand texture rich, reflective of the true hand craft.
Design and Colour, the agents for CRV artwork, feel that there is currently a backlash from the over load of photographic techniques and transparent layering of flowers. Our clients now want prints that show off artistic hand made skills such as tie and dye, hand drawn and painted, water colourfluidity, brush marks and generally less regular and predictable execution of design.

Serpents for Spring Summer
Snakes are not slithering away for Spring Summer 2019 but morphing into a softer more pastel palette. The reptile is shedding its skin to a looser and more abstract interpretation, with mirrored stripes, swirls and collages of serpentine elements.
This look is elegant and very wearable and can be worn both casually or as a statement print.

Elton John Fashion Through The Decades
With the highly anticipated John Lewis advert being the talk of the town and Elton John being the star of the show, we take a look at some of his most iconic looks over the years, just like the advert.

Being good friends with the design director at Gucci, Alessandro Michele, the singer has always drowned his outfits in sequins and embellished which reflecting the eccentric label’s style. Alessandro has been equally inspired by his Elton, his music idol, even building a collection for Spring Summer 18 around the unashamedly glam and unique style of Elton John.
Gucci Spring/Summer 18
Here is a look at some of the amazing looks that Elton has performed in so flamboyantly:
