Woman This Month - October 2011

12 | October 2011 | woman this month Unusual Fashion Prints are back with a bang, but don’t be too quick to pull out your old Diane Von Furstenberg printed wrap dresses or your floral scarves. This season, the prints are taking on new and unusual forms — dogs, cats, bows, fish, art-deco flowers and architectural geometrics are among the many new designs These prints are a beacon, a conversation starter and the main feature of an outfit, rather than simply an embellishment. Miu Miu started it all with the famous swallows of last year, but it seems that a tidal wave of other designers have soon followed suit. Erdem, Holly Fulton and Charlotte Taylor have all climbed aboard, and even Missoni has swapped the usual zig zags for more attention grabbing designs. Mix them, clash them, or wear the same print head-to-toe, but don’t be shy about it! These feature prints are not for the faint of heart. and Striking HOLLY FULTON SUNO STELLA McCARTNEY MARY KATRANTZOU MANISH ARORA MIU MIU MISSONI FERGIE LADY GAGA CELEBRITY TRENDSETTER BUSY PHILLIPPS
