Saving the best till last, the third and final part of our series will focus on the design patterns and prints from Europe this summer 😍
I don’t know about you, but in general bright bold pattern design and prints seem to be everywhere at the moment.
From pattern design dresses, to art, sometimes symmetrical, sometimes chaotic, bold patterns seem to be everywhere in the consumer space, and as my previous blog highlighted, this trend shows no sign of stopping, with bright design patterns making appearances in key fabrics for Fall-Winter 23-24 🍁

I'll be including a few example moodboards to give you some ideas when building out your collection.
Ready? Lets go 👇
Design patterns that were an abstraction that combined geological textures, wobbly lines and floral blots were the first key trend we came across at PV in particular 💮
Slightly random, chaotic, with jigsaws and collages, these pattern designs seemed to be the starting point for a new kind of camouflage of some kind.

I hope I'm wrong, but you (unfortunately) heard it heard first.
A couple of designers we recommend checking out who use this style of pattern are:

A bit of flowers, a bit of patterns, and a bit of scales that pulled in the eye into the patterns, within the patterns.
Either way it was a pattern design in particular I really liked this summer.
Combined with earthy brown and green tones, and dashes of reds and pinks, I could certainly see scarves, blouses, pattern design dresses and other assortments sporting this pattern design this Fall-Winter.

When trying to figure out, what are the print trends for 2023, another really cool trend I loved this summer was the set of design patterns that harked back to yesteryear, combining highly elaborate geometric patterns and bold motifs.
This trend seemed to be a take on the season’s floral mood was crossed with historical references such as, Byzantine design patterns and influences 👑
Patterns that combined the decadence in homage to the splendor of the Byzantine era, introduced a more historical spin on ornaments that proudly showcased the luxurious universe.
Let’s just pretend we don’t how it ended for them #historyjoke 🤓

And last, but by absolutely no means least immersive flowers and floral arrangements we’re everywhere we looked in pattern design this summer 💐
Bouquet and fleurettes in bold, colourful design patterns, gave us all further evidence that this winter is going to be far from grey, dull and boring.
