This week, FashionUnited readers get an exclusive look at three print and graphic directions that will be key to the men's SS19 season. Tropical motifs continue to be hugely influential on the print market, with Tropical Florals showing a more modernist and bold approach for SS19. In Text In Repeat, the long-running trend for typography is reworked as an all-over-print to create graphic optical illusions and display topical messages. A staple pattern for menswear, camo is updated for the digital age with deconstructed and pixelated effects in Decon Camo.

Tropical Florals

Tropical forest themes are translated predominantly through the use of non-photographic large-scale foliage and tropical style flowers. Scale is essential, with the larger the applications being the more directional execution. Modern art interpretations are simplified by a smaller colour palette.

Text In Repeat

Text takes centre stage to create subtle or in-your-face patterns, with strong anti-establishment or tongue-in-cheek messages. Branding makes a comeback with illusory all-over repeat patterns updating the bold type of previous seasons.

Decon Camo

Classic camo takes on a more fluid and impressionist form through digitalised influences and deconstructed formations. A pixelated, refracted feel is created through irregular repeats and print-on-print effects with accent colour highlights, moving camouflage prints away from a traditional khaki palette.
