The Runway is an artistic tub for inspirations, guidance and new ideas. The multi-tone print trend has taken quite a spin for Spring 2013, proving that two prints are better than one. Imagine an abstract painting that has been splattered with a paintbrush and you can’t quite figure out where the print starts or finishes. Now image wearing this work of art on your body as an outfit. This is the essence of the milt-tone prints; this look will be strong for Spring 2013. Prints are bold and colourful graphics and the master of prints that we all know and love is Mary Katrantzou. For Spring she gave us fantastic looks that melded geometric shapes with images from various destinations – From India to Venezuela to her native Greece, Katrantzou’s prints featured a wild array of characters and images.
The designer kept the shapes simple, allowing the prints to take center stage, but subtle details, including rounded shoulders, kimono sleeves, and shirttail hemlines made it clear that Katrantzou gave equal attention to both print and design. Streamlined and sophisticated Katrantzou has a knack for turning the everyday into extraordinary and making head-to-toe prints appear easily wearable, creating glorious works of wearable art. Season after season she manages to dazzle us, keeping her somewhat madcap aesthetic dreamy, beautiful and wearable at the same time. When shopping for the trend look for prints that are eccentric. Cleverly styled prints especially if worn from head-to-toe can elongate your silhouette in the most generous way. This trend looks good on both men and women and here is how to work the trend on a high-street budget.
