Look of the Month : Prints Charming

Gone are the days  when a print fabric meant your mother's dress or your grandmother's quilt. Today's prints are much more sophisticated and take on a life of their own, when created into apparel. This year's runway prints were clearly inspired by the cultures of the countries they were manufactured in.

Vibrant florals, tribal graphics, and apocalyptic prints are twisted, flipped, and faded through high-tech printing methods to give feminine dresses a fresh edge.
