Indicated in our forecast for SS22, natural landscapes and textures bring new air to the world of printmaking.
Designs in natural dyeing or eco-printing techniques produce new textures in low-impact digital prints.
These new times suggest a redefinition, a new way of thinking. We return to the forest with a new environment to explore.
Soft dye effects update feminine foliage and florals with a natural color palette.
Burberry explored this trend in its collection – In Bloom. The collection makes one think of nature in constant recreation, always growing and evolving, always alive. Water is expressed through the fluidity of textures and details, referring to freshness and cleanliness.
The brand brought two styles: classic and Streetwear. Blue gained prominence (“blue is the new beige”, said the designer), with space for electrifying notes of orange. As for Evening Wear, it brought shine and defined silhouettes.
The patterns reflect the imperfections of nature: irregular and abstract. Think #naturestextures, #forestflorals and #abstractcamo, all trending.
Consumers are also looking for artistic looks, with handmade painting techniques and authorial design. The prints of this niche also gain prominence.
THE COLLECTION
In the male universe, rubberized finishes, resistant jeans and earthy prints appear.
Feminine pieces reflect the juxtaposition of the mystical and the natural; strong and delicate, hard and soft, with the elegant details of tulle and chiffon, crystal-studded fishnets, allegorical prints and artwork.
The color palette has shades of blue with sandy beige and streaks of orange.
