Considering the fact that many people have now embraced vibrant hues thanks to the huge color blocking fad that overtook the fashion industry this year, it should come as no surprise that next year would feature an equally bold counterpart. As though inspired by [traditional Victorian wallpaper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallpaper-collection1), the Marc Jacobs Resort 2012 collection boasts paisley and pastel daisy prints. With a muted palette of neutral whites and beiges, the patterns are not so overwhelming. Intermixed among these classic prints are nonchalant striped sweatshirts, tank dresses and anoraks. Nevertheless, the Marc Jacobs Resort 2012 collection is an overall theme of [prints and patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection) that will really spice up your wardrobe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bold Prints:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate vibrant and eye-catching prints into their collections, challenging traditional patterns. - **Muted Palette:** Opportunity for textile manufacturers to develop neutral shades of whites and beiges that complement bold prints, offering a balanced aesthetic. - **Mix of Classic and Casual:** Opportunity for clothing retailers to combine traditional prints with casual streetwear styles, creating a unique and versatile fashion trend. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can embrace bold prints and experiment with mixing classic and casual styles to create innovative and eye-catching collections. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can capitalize on the trend by producing neutral shades of whites and beiges that complement bold prints, appealing to fashion designers and consumers alike. - **Clothing Retail:** Clothing retailers can curate collections that combine traditional prints with casual streetwear styles, catering to customers who seek both fashion-forward and comfortable clothing options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Art-Driven Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-artist-capsule.md) - [Holiday Handbag Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-2025-campaign.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Bold Graffiti Printed Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephen-sprouse.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Fashionable Wall Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashionable-wall-coverings.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md)
