Jump on the graphic print bandwagon for 2011

 

With the end of summer close at hand, the inquisitive fashionista is tuning into the trends for Fall. If you take a cue from the London Fashion Week, the graphic print will be very much in vogue. Various designers like Sass and Bide, Mulberry, Matthew Williamson and Christopher Kane have created apparel with their distinctive touch. Here’s a glimpse of what you are likely to see this Fall.

Sass and Bide are inspired by the bold tribal print. Their collection comprises of separates with vibrant geometric patterns, for instance the Beauty from within tank. The Project jacket and Testimony skirt are from an earlier collection but also have tribal prints.
If you like your outerwear to be colorful and full of energy, try a Matthew Williamson creation. He has designed outerwear such as the red parka, outer coat, and black and white mixed print jacket, shown in the picture above.
Christopher Kane never disappoints when it comes to innovative designs. For Fall he has created clothes that have a unique combination of feminine shape, liquid gel inserts and graphic prints. Two pieces that I particularly liked were the V-neck multi-colored printed aqua panel tee and the crocheted cashmere V-neck cardigan.
The graphic print in the Giles Deacon collection had an artsy feel with the clothing
depicting artwork of what seems the Renaissance era. While I couldn’t track the same pieces, if you want clothes with a similar feel, you could take a look at the Mangrovia silk chiffon print dress by Roberto Cavalli or the Paul Smith long sleeve tee.
Each designer adapted the graphic print in his or her unique manner. However one can be certain about one thing- this Fall you can look forward to the streets being full of busy energetic prints and colors!
