FEELING BRITISH

British style sensibility is en route, full steam ahead. Brace yourselves for a quirky spin on hi-fashion.

Enthused by the wild and wonderful prints featured in Eley Kishimoto's Spring 2006 runway collection. Not for the meek or timid, best when used sparingly and always perfect in moderation. For their Spring 2006 collection, the color/Print Palette featured hi-contrast shades from white, tomato red, bright green, baby blue, pale pink and many more. Repeated prints included love hearts, rainbows, clouds, stars, red lips, butterflies and bold stripes.

For low-level commitment on hi-impact design:
