This season fashion is in love with all sorts of motifs and colorful prints, which are consequently back with a vengeance. In exploring the trend, I bumped into a hip new label that’s currently on the rise (and recently nominated for a Scottish Fashion Award in the Young Designer category): Deetz Clothing & Accessories. Taken from the label’s webpage: British brand Deetz is the brainchild of sisters Amy Currie and Lauren Milligan, originally from Scotland, who now both live and design in London. Established in 2011, the label specialises in hand-illustrated, distinctive, digitally-printed silk garments. From loveable Penelope the pug Geisha and Mr and Mrs on their wedding day, to the whimsical Earliest Love allover and poetic Nostradamus prints, there is something within the Deetz collection to suit everybody. Bright candy colour placement prints, on black or white bases, and vivid allover prints are simplified by the boyish, oversized shapes. A selection of black haircalf, kaleidoscopic coloured suede, and snake embossed detachable collars complement many of the garments. The current collection has a little something …
