The Fashion Memo

Everybody’s wearing psychedelic prints

Fashion

Fashion’s love of nostalgia hit peak last season, with a sartorial mashup of ’70s textiles, ’80s glamour and ’90s shapes. For FW18, we’re taking it back to the even older school, with swinging ’60s psychedelic prints shown on the runways of every brand from Gucci and Anna Sui to Peter Pilotto and Valentino. Think surreal and totally trippy, and you’re on the right path.

The real beauty of this trend? With so many clashing colors and un-coordinated patterns, you really can’t go wrong. In fact, the bolder you go, the better – team your paisley graphics by Prada with bold florals by Richard Quinn, or a retro printed pantsuit by Anna Sui with Gucci’s Elton John tee. Our only style advice? Stay contemporary with your accessories – a mini bag or neat pointed flats will keep one foot in the here and now.
