You can also contact their new sales representation, NY based agent D. Matt Smith here if you missed them in NY this week in Indigo for their A/W 2014-15 original prints. 

   MOD GEOS   

Bold, simplified prints are making their back into the runway scene in several of the Resort 2014 collections with these Mod Geos. Get graphic with basic shapes; squares, circles and polygons will be your best friends with this vintage print trend.

   TYPOGRAPHIC   

One quirky print trend that caught our attention from the Resort 2014 runway shows was the use of typography. Often executed in black and white for a more optical effect, we see how various compositions create positive and negative space, accentuating both geometric and organic shapes found in the letters and numbers.
