Spring has sprung and i don't know about you but we're coming into summer more brightly dressed than ever this year! The spring/summer runways were bursting with beautiful PRINTS from delicate new florals to vivid bold patterns to get you noticed. Some stunning and innovative prints were showcased and have given us plenty to be inspired by.
Jonathan Saunders shows how wallpaper print is done in striking colours and beautiful textures.

While on the topic of prints Mary Katrantzou's name will forever be associated after her S/S collection this year. Her concept of interiors on clothes and 'putting the room on the woman' wowed audiences.
Skirts in the shape of lampshades, interior tassels and fringe trimmings were only the beginning. The stunning digital prints were what made the collection astounding. I would say expect to see alot more of this very talented lady and more digital imagery prints coming to a runway and high street near you soon.

Holly Fulton's vision was of Art Deco and tribal motifs either printed like on these palazzo pants (shown) or through trimmings on her sixties dresses, but all finished with large art deco jewelry and matching clutches or vanity cases which amped up the outfits. Accessorise, accessorise!

Thought animal prints belonged in Bet Lynch's wardrobe alone? Think again. Blumarine sported a pretty way to wear leopard in pastel brights and neutral browns, all with lashings of gold jewellery.
Pretty as a (lioness) picture!                                    xox Marie
