As we enter the last few weeks of summer, the trend experts at Trendstop.com are already looking ahead to next autumn, having rounded up an essential analysis of all the newest trends emerging for Fall/Winter 2016-17. Be inspired by these creative and directional print styles, which update Contemporary and Young Fashion Market collections with an array of striking surface looks. Key developments for the new season include creative plays on interior patterns, tribal aesthetics and florals, along with textured effects, each adding a directional yet wearable appeal to modern shapes in fashion. This week, FashionUnited readers get a first look at Linear Inspirations, an influential Contemporary print trend with a versatile market appeal for both menswear and womenswear going into F/W16-17.

Linear Inspirations

Womenswear apparel is transformed into a blank canvas this season, allowing for directional forms of creative expression in monochrome tones. An Art Nouveau influence can be seen with delicate florals and portraits, while naïve scribbles lend a playful touch to detailing. Multicoloured patterns also can be used for a bolder impact on styles like structured dresses.

In men's fashion, we see a city-inspired graphic theme refined with illustrative prints, monochrome colourways and linear patterns. Graphics are also key, with influential motifs ranging from industrial engineering to stripped-back urban skylines. This trend lends a statement feel to minimal shirting and tees.
