TREND: ETHNIC PRINT

Hi everybody,
Today I want to tell you about the ethnic prints used in a lot of runways for this spring-summer collection. I have to say it´s for both men and women and it´s not a whole look trend, it only inspires the outfits, prints or accessories, giving a vintage-hippie look.

Hola a todos,

Hoy me gustaría charlar acerca de los estampados étnicos utilizados en muchas pasarelas para la colección primavera-verano 2012. He de decir que es una tendencia tanto para hombres como para mujeres e inspira sutilmente los outfits, estampados o accesorios dando un look hippie-vintage.

Ethnic print

Men’s tribal / ethnic fashion
Guys have tribal / ethnic fashion dead easy this season. For them it’s mainly about two elements, prints and weaves, interpreted in a number of ways.

Top tips to follow the trend:

The easiest way to wear the look is as a print

It’s a casual look that works best with a bit of volume in a 60s / 70s way

If you’re looking to make a statement, look for patterned shorts.

If you’re looking for something less bold, look for a small patch / pattered detail on a plain

Women’s ethnic / tribal fashion
For women the ethnic / tribal fashion theme was used by a larger number of designers this season, but the trend remains  on prints and weaves applied across typical summer pieces. The idea is to soften and relax urban fashion, giving a relaxed summer aesthetic, but with bright and powerful colours.

Top tips to follow the trend:

Women’s options are far broader then men’s, but still the easiest way to wear the look is as a print

Bold patterns are the dominant element, the fit should be about works for your body and your style

While ethnic / tribal prints are the easiest thing to get your hands on, don’t be afraid to look for less obvious details, as accessories.
