The Spring 2014 RTW Fashion shows have commenced with New York first to start showing the talented designers latest collections. One trend so far that has been featured in almost all the collections is Floral’s, in the words of Miranda Preisley “florals for sprint..? Ground Breaking!” And yet Floral’s for Spring just seems so right; We are currently in the 6th day of spring in the southern hemisphere, and Sydney is well and truly showing off what lays ahead for the months to come. The weather is absolutely perfect for floral everything!
Now we won’t get to purchase our favourite pieces from NYFW shows until next year, but with some quick designs and our speedy turn-around you could start making your own floral spring inspired garments in no time!

Carrying on from our last blog post, we are still looking at the impact of texture in prints.
Today we are inspired by the Swedish label ACNE Studios. When you think ACNE Studios, you think classic shapes, beautiful fabrics and luxurious leathers. Designer Jonny Johansson for ACNE studios latest collection up for sale on the ACNE website features a few printed garments that have been cleverly executed.
These prints are soft and subtle but create depth and texture to each piece.

- Big and bold combinations
(L-R) Etro, Dolce & Gabbana, Paul & Joe
Its always around in some capacity, from season to season there’ll be a stripe or two, a polka dot and even a check. But recently it seems the good ol’ geo is getting a little bolder, a little more out there and even when in the standard black and white, there’s an impact being made and a statement being said.
Even simple geo prints are being teamed with more intricate florals or with a pop of colour which adds intrigue and appeal. Although wearing an all over bold stripe might be daunting for some, finding smaller pieces to go with colour blocking or quite simply a pair of jeans and flats is an easy way to dip a toe into this trend pool.

Steal the show in this impact making number by Oscar de la Renta
In any case take another look at straight or curvy lines and all sizes of spots that surround you every day at let that feed a little creativity when it comes to the simple geo. Take the trend and run with it, between, over or around the lines and see where it can take you. It could lead you right to Digital Fabrics with a great new print to wow all your friends with being so on trend and all!
