Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Trend: Graphic Prints


Bold, graphic prints were featured prominently on the SS2012 runways and are looking to be a big trend this Spring and Summer (Above: Roberto Cavalli; Peter Pilotto; Nicole Miller; Etro; Altuzarra).  While many of the looks above feature a print from head to toe, this trend is probably best worn in the real world with a solid neutral (or a solid bright if you are a bit more daring!).  But I would steer clear of wearing an all-over print unless you really really want to be noticed and have a stick-thin figure like the models above.  I've managed to find a few fun graphic prints for you to consider if you are liking this trend.  Below:  Theory "Larona-Badana" top for $215 on www.nordstrom.com; Juicy Couture "Sirius" dress for $228 on www.nordstrom.com; The Limited ruffle shell for $46.90 on www.thelimited.com; Jessica Simpson geo-print dress for $118 on www.nordstrom.com; T Tahari "Marva" blouse for $92 on www.nordstrom.com; The Limited "Forenza" dolman dress on sale for $53.94 on www.thelimited.com; Sunset graphic top for $14.90 on www.forever21.com; Eley Kishimoto graphic tote for $241.72 on www.asos.com; Ellen Tracy kimono top on sale for $64.99 on www.macys.com; Calvin Klein maxi dress for $119 on www.macys.com; Hive & Honey tie-front blouse for $49 on www.piperlime.com; Fever batwing sweater on sale for $39.99 on www.macys.com.
