Fall-Winter 2016/2017 trends: Graphic Inspirations - Mixed references

Reinterpreted ornamentation - Precious craftsmanship grows more indistinct, ornamentation looks dashed-off, with an almost trash look. Paisleys and palmettos are naive, with a hand-made look. Rosettes are incised in a slap-dash way. The same pattern is reproduced with subtle differences, to transport it across different time periods.
