There are certain prints that pop up every runway season. In
particular, animal prints, stripes, checks and plaids can be so varied
that designers are free to experiment with them and present fresh
looks; plus consumers find such structural patterns reassuring.
For the resort season, there were many snake prints, a wide variety of
plaids and checks as well as various sorts of stripes.
Snake Eyes
Animal prints are a fashion perennial; perhaps because they can offer
a maximal and a minimal look at the same time. For Resort 24 several
designers showed snake prints and even more specifically, python
prints.

The designer showed a heavily print-driven collection for resort, with
plenty of western references. Among the stand-outs were several
python-printed leather pieces. They were mostly rendered in natural
colors.

pre-spring. Among the looks were short shorts, a bomber jacket and
thigh-high boots, all rendered in natural shades.

The python print at Scervino was rendered in natural shades, as well
as in blue and in green. In some cases it was airbrushed on lace
pieces or digitally printed on recycled fabrics.

Check-In Time
Just like animal prints, checkered prints and patterns pop up every
season. There is something classic and a bit retro about them. Resort
24 will be no exception, with gingham, plaid and houndstooth all
resonating.

For his second collection for the brand, Lee took a modern take to the
Prince of Wales check. He showed a series of styles, including coats,
suits and dresses, in a pattern that was traditional at the top and
warped at the bottom. In other parts of the collection, there was a
liberal use of houndstooth checks and other plaid patterns.
Adeam – designer: Hanako Maeda
