wallpaper days ahead.

have you ever driven by a rundown house in the woods, where you can see straight into the deserted shack? the broken windows or open door reveal the 1950s wallpaper strewn all over? those big flowers and odd color combinations which are so far from subtle have slowly been invading fashion in the form of fabric in the last few years. you saw prada do it last season with pinks and purples. jimmy choo picked up the classic marimekko patterns and ran with them. both up and coming design moguls as well as old favorites (like dvf) have reintroduced these prints.

is it here to stay? the prints may fade during some seasons, but they'll be back with full vengeance. this i believe at least. there is something for everyone. this upcoming fall season, the patterns fall into the darker hues with black and white flowers, golds, and deep purples. the patterns resemble brocade and plastic flower arrangements you might find in your attic.
