FROSTBITE AUTUMN/WINTER 16/17 BABY/TODDLER GIRLS
TREND DIRECTION
MOOD
As the landscape changes to ice and snow, we look to soft textures and cocoon padding to keep the cold away. Chalky finishes, pearlescent glosses and subtle shine add an air of mysticism, while soft sports influences and novelty ideas add bite.

An icy palette of pretty pinks and aquas is given a bit of edge with the inclusion of monochrome and soft sports grey. Natural browns, taupe and charcoal add an element of warmth.

LEOPARD PRINT
Leopard prints appear across a range of techniques, with glitter and foil inclusions and bleed/handpainted effects. Steer awafrom the traditional browns and focus on winter cools
STYLIZED ANIMALS
Animals appear in silhoutte form, or with novelty elements for a fun yet trendy vibe. Black, whites and greys are key with flashes of plae pink and mint.
REGULAR REPEAT
Icons are repeated in a regular pattern, usually on a pale if not white background. Icons are either one or two colour, or are digitally printed. Animals, insects, flowers and winter berries are all popular icons.
MONOCHROME
A monochrome palette lends itself to a trendy vibe, appearing across geometrics, star patterns, paint splatters and linear prints.
SHADES OF GREY
Soft greys help to soften up the look, with flashes of colour or glitter to add to the wonter feel. Stripes, zgzags, spots and filigree are popular.
ORIGAMI /TANGRAM
Glacial structures inspire tangram style prints, either as all over prints or placements. Once again, animal icons are popular, redrawn in geometrics.
SKETCHED NAIVITY
Soft pencil and watercolour effects add a sense of feminine naivity. Designs appear in shades of grey, often on an off white base, with the rabbit being a key icon.
MARKER PEN
Funny slogans and monochrome prints appear as if drawn by marker pen, adding to the individual trendiness of this theme.
MYSTIC
Digital prints are inspired by winter frosted florals; appearing in soft tones almost as if seen through ice.
SEQUINS AND GLITTER
Sequins and glitter make graohics look frosted, and can either appear with soft colours for a pretty feminine feel or with bold monochromes for an edgier look.
