Trending: Aloha! Island & Hawaiian Prints

Have you been watching Milan Fashion Week? If you have, you've probably been seeing the ever growing island/Hawaiian print trend explode! It seemed like every third show so far has featured some spin on traditional Malaysian/Singaporean batik and Hawaiian prints. I'm in love with the whimsical, fun nature of these prints.

Splashes of bright colors and playful forms truly popped between the starker, more monochromatic, texture focused runway shows such as Gabriele Colangelo and Jil Sander (no surprise here). Dolce and Gabbana took on a more east Asian route (think cherry blossoms and Chinese scroll) for prints and florals. Marni featured graphic florals, but the colors were more muted and it felt like they may have been inspired by mid-20th century wallpaper prints perhaps found at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Nonetheless, island prints made a resounding rally. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the week plays out.

SS 14 shows: Aquilano Rimondi, Etro, Fausto Puglisi, MSGM
