I think that we are presuming that next summer will be as good as 2018 and that ladies will be picnicking in floaty dresses on the riverbanks.
We have been asked to source florals from crisp little disties to bolder botanicals, all with a vintage feel for next spring and it is all very romantic.

Here we take a look at the best of New York fashion week in terms of print. From Oscar de la Renta to Zimmerman, the runway was full of pattern and colour.
Tory Burch
Tory Burch hit the runway with more scarf prints but this time they had more of an indian influence with paisleys and rich orange tones running through them. Paired back with stripes and ditsies, the collection offered many different print styles.
Self Portrait
With disties being one of the biggest trends for SS19, Self portrait have delivered a collection of nearly all ditsies. Cut about, varying scales and brave colour combinations make them feel new.
Diane Von Furstenberg
DVF is always a highly anticipated designer in terms of print and she certainly delivered for SS19. With only 9 looks in total, animal, florals, ditsiesand tile prints were all mix and matched.
Oscar de la Renta
Moroccan inspired prints are decorated with opulent fringing and intricate conversational create a tapestry across the body. The Oscar de la Renta show for SS19 was a stand out show for us for clever use of colour and print styles.
Carolina Herrera
Carolina Herrera was a massive injection of colour to the New York runway. Bright coloured grounds with varying scaled floralsis the key message from this show.
Zimmerman
Decadent paisleys and worn out patchwork prints, Zimmerman was like an indian tapestry pulled apart and redesigned. Slick fashion design acts as a canvas to beautifully intricate prints.

With the maxi dress being the staple garment this summer, we thought we would take a look at the great print across high street and designer levels for high summer.

The snow has melted, the skies are blue and we look forward to the sun shining and using mixed and matched stripes and spots with flowers. We started this look last year but only now has it got into full swing.
Summer is just around the corner and we are dreaming about those long vacations and what swimwear to pack in our suitcases. From bold floral prints to retro conversationals, here is a look at some of the summer trends for swimwear.
Floral Flourish
Florals this season are bright and daring, 70s style clashing colours are back and refreshing in their boldness. We see a move away from ditsy florals towards larger scale prints.

The Stripe
All colour combinations are gracing the stripe this summer. This is a great way to wear colour in a more understated way.
New Look, Net a porter, Boohoo
Summer Conversational
Beach scenes, palm trees, swimmers, this story is full of fun. These prints have a real retro feel to them with stylized illustrations and all over repeats. Our favourites are these three designs making a great summer splash.
J Crew, & Other Stories, Vilebrequin,
Artistic
This print trend has been gracing the catwalks for a few seasons now and it’s the perfect time for the trend to move onto swimwear. Really make a statement with an impressionist style print on a swimsuit this summer
Urban Outfitters, Topshop, Net a Porter, Paul Smith
Second Skin
Always a returning print trend for swimwear, animal prints are becoming more colourful and vibrant this season. Kiniki’s ‘tan through’ swimwear fabric helps avoid those dreaded tan lines and has sarongs, wraps and ponchos with the same qualities.
Topshop, Asos, Kiniki
Boho Patchwork
In our Coachella post there were lots of boho prints and this is now translated into swimwear with patchwork and ethnic stripe styles.

So not to forget our male colleagues, here are some bright prints and even tan through for him.
