Fashion has always been an expressive way to let your personality shine through your wardrobe, and spring's latest artisan trend will allow you to develop this concept even further.
Making its way out of the art studio and onto our clothes, painted designs are fast becoming this season’s most favoured motif. Delicate brush strokes in watercolour pastels are emerging on runways like Dolce & Gabbana’s s/s16 show. The designers used detailed illustrations to depict idyllic Italian landscapes in expressive fashion. Jeremy Scott opted for an abstract approach with colourful sporadic lines covering micro mini dresses, while Emilio Pucci chose tie-dyed separates. When trialing the style, consider just one item that incorporates the trend. Draw on a single colour from the design, and let that carry all accompanying pieces.
