Fall 11 Trend | Mirrored Opulence

Matthew Williamson, Holly Fulton, Pucci, Etro

A good number of frocks on the fall runways feature opulent, swirly designs in a mirrored repeat that splits the body in symmetrical half. Holly Fulton's prints had some 20's influences, Etro seemed to have a Medieval tapestry look, and Pucci's was more Baroque-inspired. Matthew Williamson featured his usual kaleidoscope prints, and then some floral embellishments as seen above that seem to have a folk-art influence.

Pucci Book

For the print lovers out there, Taschen releases a new tome on the life of Emilio Pucci, the Marchese of marks. At a mere £650, this book isn't for everyone. However, this limited art edition, signed by Pucci's daughter, is bound in original vintage fabric and comes with four art prints of drawings by Pucci himself. If you're a dedicated collector of these iconic 60s prints, pick up a copy today.
