Wild Print Mixing at Mother of Pearl

Mixing it up is the name of the game right now. Florals with animal with geos create a wild and vibrant look.

Fall 13 | Louise Gray

Every season we can expect some courage and excitement from Louise Gray, and this latest is no exception. Geos have gone wild, sometimes shouting, sometimes laughing but always surprising us with the unexpected.

Mix it up with geometrics and stripes for an eye-catching print combination.

The consensus at Printsource seems to be, geos are in! Here are some of our favorites from home, runway, art, and accessories.

Spring 10: Tripping Out

Woah! Did somebody spike the water supply in London? Some of our favorite print designers are on a serious acid trip. Of course, McQueen's show was an insane event of epic proportions. Basso and Brooke and Mary Katrantzou had similar print stories to one another, with swirls and space ship lights whizzing around. At some points, as above, the prints could have come from the same designer. Nicole Miller must have caught the transmission in New York as she adorned her dresses with cosmological placement prints.

Spring 10: Pattern Overload!

For those of us that love pattern, it's fun to see layers of draped cloth oozing with different prints but living together in harmony. Wearing different patterns together takes some skill and usually creates one of three effects: earth mama of the world, crazy lady, or torn up goth after a night of casting spells.

The geometrics were very interesting this season, some inspired by Africa and Morocco, some with a 60's look, and others with an active-wear feel.
