Nothing says autumnal migration more than the calling of patterns and prints. Fluttering out of the pattern throng this Autumn/Winter 2011/12 was a flock of bird prints. Featuring notably in House of Holland and Mulberry, WGSN had domestic animal prints in their sight since Spring/Summer 2010. Style.com recognised fauna as a fondness among designers, who proved that placement possibilities are endless. Bird print hatched from the growth of social networking sites like Twitter, relating to the constant communication of fashion through modern technology. Other influences include the rapidly growing trend of sustainability, highlighting that necessity to reconnect with nature. View2 Textile magazine further enforced this trend, forecasting the rise of bird and animal inspired prints.
Similar to Mulberry’s single colour vivacity, this blouse is a perfect example of how technology has turned fashion on its head, making the runway to street turn-over nearly non-existent.
