The print direction is predominated by cartouches, arabesques, moire prints, toiles, romantic, iron work, gothic, architectural historical, monumental, heraldic and print room prints. We observe a catalyst change into the second millennium, crossing boundaries of nature, technology and space. It is a time to be different, a time to use your imagination, a time to be an individual. This season sees a cornucopia of ideas from diverse world cultures linking style and content. There is a gradual movement from one period of design into the other.
Textural compositions are the popular looks in prints and wovens.
Moods are dramatised in various colour combinations and complex neutrals. There is a definite return to blended and pure neutrals. Deceptively traditional in aspect, the new natural and synthetic combinations result in a fresh fluidity. There is a continuing need for well being, purity and comfort. Natural fibres like cotton, linen and hemp appear in their natural slubbed and pure freshness.
