Designers are not resting on their oars. They are always in search of new ideas, and they are getting it from the most unexpected sources. Recently we have seen a lot of new designs appear, such as animal prints, fruit prints, floral designs, tropical prints. It appears that nothing is off-limits.
Well, why are these prints so popular at the moment? In this article, we will discuss why they are so popular and take a look at the newest tendencies in these designs. Also, we will examine some of the most popular summer colors and designs that are currently trending.
Fruit-based designs
Fruit prints and summer go hand-in-hand. Think back to 1961, when the iconic Marilyn Monroe rocked in a cherry-patterned outfit. Since then designers have been using fruit prints to give their creations a fresh and fun look. Let us take a closer look at what makes fruit prints such a favorite.
Popularity of fruit prints
The idea of using fruits in prints has been around since ancient times. When dyes used to be very expensive, designers used to look for simpler ways to create patterns without the use of dyes. To print patterns using fruits, you just had to cut them and press the color-carrying fruits onto the fabric.
Around the 18th and 19th centuries, the paisley print was introduced to the west, thanks to the imports from India, becoming a favorite among the aristocrats. The mango’s round shape and its tapered end is said to have inspired the paisley pattern. Food-inspired motifs like strawberries on outfits also dominated in the late 19th century.
In fact, lemon prints have been a hit ever since the child star Shirley Temple donned a lemon-embroidered dress. This timeless print is a classic evergreen style that people of any age can wear. Many designers also love incorporating other fruit-inspired motifs like bananas, oranges, and grapefruit in their collections.
