27.11.12 High Street Pattern Report

Picking out key themes in print and pattern whilst wondering round the Bullring this week. Animated and playful conversational prints with quirky characters. Decorative and intricate floral arrangements for blouses and shirts. Ditsy florals in darker colour ways as well as graphic, silhouetted and artistic effects. Small scale paisley. Textured and atmospheric plaid, combinations with floral. Relationship between shapes and playful patterning, constellations. Painted and stylised leopard print, surface or weave of fabric adding to qualities of print.
