Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers the key print and pattern stories emerging from the international Women’s Spring Summer 2021 Fashion Weeks.

Modern Vintage Florals

Vintage florals are given a contemporary twist as exploded and oversized blooms are applied to contrasting grounds. Stylised illustration motifs and wallpaper-esque prints feature as all-over placements, with exaggerated scales in considered colour combinations applied over stark monochrome or vibrant, modern backdrops.

Soft Artistic Camo

Camouflage is reimagined with an artisanal aesthetic that feminises and softens its previously tough military roots. Artistic, painterly canvas effects create vibrant overalls with a textural element supplied by brush stroked surfaces. Tonal colourways with subtle metallic hints channel a retro take on futurism.

The Multi-Cultural MonogramMonogram prints are infused with a global appeal as placement graphics take inspiration from cultural heritage. All-over geometric tile effects and a nod to traditional paisley are reworked to incorporate lettering, symbols and logos in two-tone monochrome colourways.

Tapping into the core themes of the season, prints explore nostalgic sensibilities and reworkings of classic menswear patterns. Continuing the move towards more unisex and genderless dressing, traditional print elements from womenswear are also reconsidered though a masculine lens.

Comic Book Nostalgia

Memories from childhood and a playful, light-heartedness imbues colourful comic strip inspired prints. Motifs are rendered in bright, bold retro hues with graphic styling reminiscent of cartoons or vintage movie posters, reigniting a sense of fun and appreciation of times past.

Gender-Fluid Florals

As gender lines become increasingly blurred, feminine florals are reimagined for the modern man. Simplified and abstracted blooms are emboldened by exploded proportions, strong lines and colourways, giving flowers a punchy, more graphic quality.

Shapes on Stripes

The classic shirting stripe is given a modern art makeover as geometric shapes and placement motifs are collaged and overlaid. Linear patterns are broken up with contrasting squares and circles, whilst cut-out effects and patched panels introduce a three-dimensional quality.
