New York, NY – December 2010 – Printsource New York, the leading textile and surface design show in the USA, announced its list of the TOP TEN PRINT IDEAS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2012.
The list, compiled by Claudia Brown and Jessie Whipple Vickery, of the Portland-based textile design studio Pattern People, highlights some of the most directional print and pattern ideas for Spring/Summer 2012, both for the fashion and home textiles markets.
“Printsource provides the design community with a venue focused exclusively on surface design” said Massimo Iacoboni, CEO and Producer. “The show is a Mecca of creative inspiration, and its aim is to help companies develop directional products by bringing together textile and surface designers from all over the world under one roof” he added.
The Top Ten Print Ideas for Spring/Summer 2012 are:
- Abstract Elements – tie-dye textures that take inspiration from the earth such as minerals and other organic matter.
- Baroque Opulence - rich, ornamental, embroidery inspired designs with an antique feel.
- Bohemian Folk - geometrics, paisleys and floral designs influenced by Ballets Russes.
- Eastern Color Block - influenced by Bauhaus and Mondrian with a hand painted feel.
- Ink Blot Camos - watercolor and ink spots create an organic update.
- Photobased Prints - 3D and chromatic aberrations.
- Pop Art Conversationals - bold, outlined shapes take inspiration from Roy Lichtenstein's technique.
- Shanghai Florals - stylized Asian florals with a slick nighttime feel.
- Tribal Wash - ethnic prints that are hand-painted yet look as if rain has washed part of the design away.
10. Under the Microscope - science and design collide with detailed images shown in overblown scale.
Printsource’s next event will be held on January 10/11/12, 2011. As the hub for the world’s top creative talent, Printsource showcases hundreds of collections by international surface and textile design studios. The Show, held three times a year at 7 West 34th Street in New York City, is the main surface and textile design resource for thousands of apparel, paper goods and home textile manufacturers, retailers and catalogs.
