WOODLAND ANIMALS
Whether as placement prints, AOPs or 3D charms; woodland creatures are a key graphic direction for toddler and baby girls.
NAIVE SIMPLICITY
One or two colour prints, often appearing naively handrawn with a sketched quality. Regular repeats usually with a pale base colour.
STYLIZED VINTAGE
Blocky prints appear stylised and bold in large scale repeats across garments. Orange, yellow, green brown and blue are key colours for this graphic theme.
DITSY FLORALS
Floral ditsies appear tonal in greens, blues, yellows and burgundies. Flower clusterings add negative space elements to some prints while some are regularly spaced.
positive messages
Positive messaged appear as prints or embroideries, often surrounded by wildflowers or accompnaied by a woodland animal.
checks and tweeds
Heritage checks and tweeds are key, and are often paired with naive florals for a pretty yet rustic feel.
wood cut
Animals appear blocky and woodcut. One colour AOPs are popular, as well as distressed placement prints..
folk inspired
Folk influences can be seen across a range of artwork, with navy and red being key colours. Chunky embroideries and regular repeats are popular.
watercoloured
Both AOP florals and animal placements are digitally printed with hand painted, watercolor effects.
homespun
Chunky embroideries, mixed appliques, 3D charms and felt badges all add to the homespun, DIIY feel of this trend.
