S/S 20 Trend: Map Print

A road well travelled seemed to be the order of the day for S20 - as far as print trends go anyway. The notion of travel is always well explored by designers, taking inspiration from research trips and vacations for their collections, but for SS20 the trend was very literal in its runway interpretation. Designers including, Sacai and Mary Katrantzou printed vintage maps onto dresses. At a glance they almost looked like texture prints, but on closer inspection you could see the finer details. Mary Katrantzou took inspiration from her native Greece, paying homage to her home country in true Katrantzou 'showstopping' style with a map of Athens printed onto an extravagant evening gown. Over at Sacai, the long-flowing dresses were teamed with sandals - for an overall more authentic take on the attire of a seasoned traveller.
