Spring Inspiration: Art Prints

I have returned from New York to what finally seems like spring! The very crowded "big apple," along with a recent issue of Elle Canada have given me so many ideas on what is on trend for the season.
First, and probably my favourite would be art in fashion. From watercolour prints to bold patterns and colour-blocked accessories, this spring has definitely taken its cues from paintings, sculptures, and other works of art. While shopping in New York, I came across a store that is all about this. The store is called Desigual (http://www.desigual.com/en_US); and it is based in Spain with locations across Europe and the US (sadly, none in Canada). Desigual is the epitome of this spring's biggest trend. Their clothes feature bright, colourful prints, geometrical designs, and floral patterns in every colour. Here are some of my favourite pieces:



And it continues with their accessories:



Do you love it yet?
Another reason why I love art-inspired prints on clothing is that it is so unexpected, and that's what makes it fun. I don't know about you, but bright prints and patterns make me happy, and that's what clothing should do.
