Nautical in combination with the geometric trend is coming into fashion and every second lady you see on the street will be wearing a stripey top (me included). In interiors, the theme includes:
- bold red, white and blue colours
- sea creature motifs such as fish, lobsters and whales
- lots of shells and coral
- rope and its lovely knotted-ness.
I've been spotting a few rope-inspired products - looks like I'm not the only one that loves the texture created by multiple strands braided together and the different shapes its flexible form makes.
