Pre Spring Summer 2014

As the temp around Oz drops this weekend and the snow bunnies rejoice, if you need a little warming look forward to sunnier days by perusing the Pre Spring/Summer ’14 shows coming out of Europe.

These in-between season showings have an over relaxed and mellow vibe with the exception of the exciting prints and splash of colours pre-empting the full blown summer buzz. There seems to be a real movement around the digital fabric printing in many of the new collections, which is so nice to see being that Digital Fabrics is in the business of digital printing…

There are the pretty florals and the tropical imaginings but there are also so really intriguing combinations out as well. Bold graphic motifs paired with photographic images and ditsy florals. Scale is on the large side with many panel pieces on show making for great statement pieces which are likely to carry through to the summer ranges. Even the boys get a look in with some funky mix up prints stealing the show!

In any case, the parades might just warm you from the mere idea of warmer days. Rug up and enjoy here.
