High Voltage Prints

It's finally time to start preparing for Spring and Summer by ditching those dull and boring darks and getting in those funky colours and bold prints. On inspection of the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk collections, it is clear to see that attention-grabbing digital prints and exotic floral brights are set to steal the spotlight.

Perfect for exhibitionists, digitally manipulated images decorated many of the runways most memorable pieces. Gucci (see below), Versace and the late Alexander McQueen approached this vibrant trend from many different angles, but all celebrated a (hopefully!) hot and joyful summer with clashing colours and edgy prints.


For those of us that don't earn an A-list wage package and can't quite afford an expensive designer piece, the trusty High Street are offering their own take on the catwalk inspired trend. Here, you can indulge in the look as far as you like, whether you simply want to go for a high energy tunic and skinny jeans, or a sexy summer thigh length dress and killer heels.

If you choose to work this look on the maxi dress or maxi skirt skirt (another of 2010's Spring/Summer trends), be careful to ensure that the pattern isn't too small or intricate, and instead fairly large and bold as this ensure you are looking fresh and fashionable. If this rule is ignored, you may run the risk of looking too busy, cluttered and intense.

However you choose to rock this style, have fun, be bold and crank up the colour!
