Print direction for AW 13/14

I have done a post for colour direction for AW 13/14 and I thought I would do a post on print direction for the upcoming season! Each season we see a number of prints which come through, whether its geometric, aztec or animal prints. This season will bring us many of my favourite prints including baroque inspired prints and my favourite of all animal prints - leopard print!

"Several designers use surface embellishment in place of print and pattern for next winter., as decorative appliqués and embroideries work as 3D engineered placements or borders on everything from knitwear to dresses and even outerwear. We see this trend as indicative of the move towards a more crafted approach to textiles and pattern." Sue Evans, WGSN, 2013
