trend spotting; mbfwa 2012 - fluro and prints

These are just some of the many trends that I happened to spot from the Lisa Ho show at MBFWA Spring Summer 2012/13. Sporting colours of navy, white, khaki, canary yellow (as featured), nude and emerald green, just to name a few.

As well as prints; punchy, cartoonish almost, with oversized Hawaiian blooms perking up chic blazers, cropped trousers, thigh-high shorts and gowns. There was much to love from her designs as well as a hint of Dolce & Gabbana creeping in there (if you remember the Dolce Spring Summer 2012 show with the fruit prints). A nice fresh, pungent start to the many prints that were seen this week.

Does this seem to ring any bells?

trend spotting; mbfwa 2012 - print on print

Designers show a blind eye to the famous colour-blocking trend of last year, sporting more geometric, tropical and floral prints, with a particular mention to prints upon prints. Don't be afraid to team a bundle of mish mashed designs. I am seeing a strong focus away from less is more to just role with it type of feel. Take a leaf out of Romance Was Born's fashion week collection.
