While there’s nothing necessarily groundbreaking about this one, a good monochromatic tribal geometric group is essential for your Spring 2015 collection. Experiment with scale and technique for ways to keep this trend looking fresh. Check out the spring shows from L.A.M.B., Adam Lippes, Nanette Lepore, and Ulla Johnson for more great examples.

We start our extensive review of Spring 2015 runway print trends with a sweet take on the traditional spring floral. Infused with light and a touch of blur, these airy ombre fades add just enough of a modern twist to a look that never goes out of style. Be sure to check out the new collections from Carolina Herrera and Monique Lhuillier for additional examples of how to approach this trend.

New York Fashion week is in full swing, and although there are plenty of shows (and several other cities) remaining, a few key color palettes are becoming rather evident. If you actually look back at the Resort 2015 color stories, you’ll find that Spring colors have not drastically changed from the previous season. Blue and yellow are both quite strong on their own, if not a bit softer this time around. Orange is quite the pop color, which you’ll find in shades from peach to rust. Although they didn’t make it into this particular color roundup, it’s worth mentioning that pastels were represented in large numbers (especially baby blue), as well as high-contrast prints in black and white.

Pull out those paint brushes and prepare to get messy for the next trend featured in our review of Resort 2015 prints. Distressed textures are all the rave, and these ones are of the colorful variety. If this concept is too abstract for your normal customer, use it more sparingly as a texture in a stripe or geometric design.
