As you can probably guess we are crazy about prints and printing here at Digital Fabrics, so when Fashion week begins we keep a sharp eye on the designers who add a little special printed elements to their designs. A few Designers we love to watch are Mara Hoffman, Libertine, creatures of the wind,Honor, J.crew and Lela Rose just to name a few. As we view the updates coming from New York fashion week, we spotted one Designer duo with a unique look at mixing pop culture with high fashion. Rodarte’s Latest was inspired by childhood nostalgia and these Star Wars inspired gowns took us right back to our own childhood. What do you think of these gowns?

Where i see fashion collections fashion images and apirs them up with images of art, architecture, scenery, photography, really anything that shows a resemblance to the actually fashion photograph.

After some time deliberating over the beautiful print submissions we had to choose our winner and 2 runner ups.
