Emerging Print: PATCHWORK: Round 2

Got to love Dries for being one step ahead as always... with these amazing patchworked prints from Summer 12. Coolhunter had a post on outdoor wallpaper, and you can't help but wonder at the work and beauty in ancient mosaics. This is what I mean by gorgeous patchwork.

Emerging Print: PATCHWORK

Patchwork. It brings to mind little old ladies with homes stacked full of quilts, or hippies with long flowing patchwork skirts.
However it is coming back as print inspiration for Summer 2013. Of course, its fashion, and this is going to be gorgeous, not that naff version that you might have in mind. This will be haute patchwork, with subtle and well considered clashes and matches.
Think combining the same print in two different colourways, or in varied scales. Think on trend palettes with modern florals, geometrics, ethnic inspiration and photographs. Could be interesting!
