Mixed Prints and Fashion Designers
Mix prints allows fashion designers to be
really creative. Fashion labels such as Red Valentino, Tracy Reece, Milly, Magaschoni,
Elle Tahari, M Missoni, Michael Kors, Tony Burch, Lafayette 148 New York, Diane
von Furstenberg, Kate Spade New York, and Rebecca Taylor to name a few have
included mixed print styles in their current collections. From a cost stand
point, the cost of creating a mix print styles depends on if the print is
combined into one print in terms of when it goes on the fabric or whether the
two prints are separate fabrics being sewed together. Of course the last method
is the most expensive. For new designers who are producing in small quantities
this method can get really expensive because there is a certain minimum of
fabric that has to be dyed.
Celebrities in Mixed Prints
So we just learned a small sample of the
fashion designers creating this hot mixed print look but who are the consumers?
Well just about everyone is getting in on this fashion trend including many
A-List celebrities from Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Beyonce, Heidi Klum, Emily
Rosen, Miranda Kerr, Selena Gomez, and Emma Watson to name a few. Big bold
prints that are impactful always pump fun and excitement into getting dressed. Mixed
prints can be worn in the day and easily translate into the after 7 and after
10 looks. Wearing a flirty dress with a two dazzling prints or more competing
to see which one will steal the show for the night is an ongoing battle that
the women who are wearing them love. Fight on these women say! In the end, each
print deserves equal praise in most cases. Sure there are some misses but
overall all prints are workable in some form or fashion. As they say, beauty is
in the eyes of the beholder.
