Artful collage: emerging womenswear trend

---

By Geraldine Wharry, WGSN, 30 January 2014

Designers are breaking away from the digital and symmetrical imagery seen in previous seasons and are returning to traditional painting and drawing for graphic, print and colour influences. Bold, oversized silhouettes draw inspiration from the 1980s.

Patterned overlays

Overlaying pattern techniques continue to be a popular direction and new favourites include printed lace floral combinations.

Lustrous skins

Rich animal skin patterns are full of lustre, printed or embossed onto shiny fabrics or leathers for a directional feel. Experiment with metallic tarnished foils for a multicoloured finish for the high-summer season.

Abstract Florals

Intense florals with an abstract feel nod to the Bio-Dynamic macro trend for spring/summer 2015, and are obscured with blurring, overlaying and painterly liquid techniques. Create an energetic, vibrant feel and be daring with bold colour combinations. Use colour overlays on existing floral fabrics to mask patterns. Don’t be afraid to use brash or bright mixes.

Hyper mixes

Leading on from bold and brash mixes, another print direction sees surreal combinations of different animal skins, geos, florals and colour blurs for a hyper-feel. Softly merge together prints with blurring or overlaying techniques.
