Spring 12 | Suno Sneakers

Come next Spring, you can rock these super cute Suno sneakers in comfort and style!

Resort 12: Suno

We love Suno! Not only are their prints totally inspiring, but they also support sustainable development in Kenya by doing most of their production there and helping local artisans. This collection has such a sweet island feel, we just want to get on a plane headed for Bangkok right now!

Resort 11: Textures

On the Resort 11 runways, one of the biggest trends we're seeing is a prevalance of small-scale textures with hints of floral or scenic imagery. It's a nice abstracted update to the ditsy florals that have been all over women's wear and accessories for the last few seasons.

Spring 10: African Prints

African prints have been trending for a few years now, and seem to be gaining steam with heavy hitters like Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and Eley Kishimoto using them generously in their Spring 10 collections. Lively mixed prints, jagged organic shapes, batiks, and colorful messy stripes are all looking playful and fun right now. Take a look at some more inspirational textiles on the Pattern People blog.
