FRUITY CULTURE
In juicy shades of crushed berries, childlike illustrations of fruit slices are given an almost watercolour-like effect. The appeal here lies in the fact that each element is uniquely drawn. Fruity culture brings to mind the season of celebrating the fresh and delicious coolness of citrus flavours.

TIMELESS TANGRAM
Traditional geometric patterns are reinterpreted in the form of purely triangular arrangements and morphed deconstructions. The majority of tangram prints are created digitally as opposed to hand drawn and woven textiles. The contrasting colours juxtaposed against one another create a visual effect of playful vibrancy alongside sharp rigidity. Vivid colours mingle amongst each other to create bold patterns.
GRAPHIC MARBLING Inspired by rocky minerals, graphic marbling explores th enaturally swirled and rippled effect of geological specimens and cosmic phenomena. Typically seen in hardware, architecture and home interiors, marbling has a richly washed, complex effect when translated into clothing.

FABRIC TRENDS CHIFFON SILK JERSEY MESH
SILK JERSEY
The subtle sheen and lustre that eminates from silk jersey is suitable for lending a luxurious feeling to straight, simple silhouettes.
CHIFFON
The light, semi-sheer drape of chiffon lends itself well to the free spirited wandering of the floral gypsy. Its flowy, summery, dream like quality works well for the summer.
MESH
With its transparent quality, Mesh fabric is versatile for layering and adds extra dimension and dynamism for trends like fire and ice and candy floss.
