Wild graphic, artsy, and abstract prints are a hot trend for Spring/Summer 2008. Nothing dainty here!
Jeanne Marc of San Francisco is a master at the "Nothing Matches" style of prints. This NOS quilted 80s vest, sold with a coordinating pair of high waist pants is a great example. I love the Pucci insired print on this elegant day dress from Robert Leonard. And then there's Hawaiiana - some great graphic tiki prints came out of the 60s and 70s, and this little barkcloth dress would be so easy to wear this summer. All available at magsrags.net
