Catwalk to Highstreet Prints Charming

SS12 Trends – Catwalk to highstreet – prints.

We take a look at the print-on-print trend for Spring/Summer 2012 and pick our favourite pieces for getting the look on the highstreet…

Prints were huge on the catwalks for Spring/Summer, especially print-on-print ensembles. Florals were a key theme but ‘conversational’ prints (à la Prada and Mary Katrantzou) also got a look in.

Left to right: Mary Katrantzou; Prada; Sportmax; Erdem; Clements Ribeiro.

The highstreet has bought massively into this particular trend so there’s lots on the highstreet to choose from – Penneys and River Island both get special mention here for their great designer-esque prints.
