Try This: Mixing Prints

This spring is certainly no time for timid, shy ensembles. Dries Van Noten and D&G have made that very clear by throwing caution to the wind and mixing bold prints together. I'm always for being bold and fearless, and if you are too then you can't afford not to at least try print mixing once.
Try bold colors and floral prints for starters. Or you could go with a mixed print dress and a bold colored belt or blazer! I love how versatile this trend is, and how just about anything goes. I chose not to show you my picks because you'd have much more fun picking your own patterns and prints to mix and match. But please do check out these runway shots from Dries Van Noten and D&G for their spring 2008 collections.
