Penchant for Print!!

With a nod to the degenerate 80s, gloriously vibrant scarf prints are no longer only being seen adorning the necks of Grannie’s or on those eternally stuck in a fashion time warp! SS12 saw the very welcome return of these big, bold patterns that emanate sheer opulence and character. This print is now showing up everywhere from high street retailers to vintage stores, on the runways of Versace, Pucci and Etro and of course it dominated D&G’s super fun final collection. And it’s not only on silk; this trend is lending its charm to cotton, satin and even suede. This season it’s all about making a statement, clashing prints and colours are encouraged, so rip up the handbook, throw caution to the wind and have fun with the 80s jazziest print!!
