# Floral Pattern-Clashing Fashion 'Pattern Play' in Flare May 2010 Mixes Springtime Shades By Vittoria Natarelli | Published 2010-04-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pattern-play-in-flare References: [picsandmodels.blogspot](http://picsandmodels.blogspot.com/2010/04/cintia-dicker-flare-may-2010.html) & [flare](http://www.flare.com/) 'Pattern Play' in Flare May 2010 is a pretty and colorful editorial that features a bouquet of [floral fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femininity-in-bloom). Photographer Ishi captured [combinations packed with pattern and color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1). The florals in 'Pattern Play' in Flare are bright and powerful, layered on top of each other to create this perfect little utopia of colour. This shoot is a nice example of how many creative ways patterns can be incorporated into a wardrobe. Personally, I love the blue floral blazer in the first shot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pattern-clashing Fashion:** Opportunity to create new lines of clothing that mix and match patterns in unexpected ways. - **Floral Fashion:** Opportunity to design new floral patterns and incorporate them into fashion. - **Colorful Editorials:** Opportunity to create visually stunning editorials centered around bold color choices and patterns. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion designers can apply the 'Pattern Play' concept to their designs and establish new clothing lines or add new styles to existing lines. - **Photography Industry:** Photographers can use 'Pattern Play' as inspiration for future photoshoots, utilizing bold colors and patterns to create visually striking imagery. - **Print and Textile Industry:** Textile and print designers can create new floral patterns and incorporate them into different types of fabrics to be used in clothing or accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Vintage Floral Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-kids-1.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Floral-Inspired Home Rug Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-garden.md) - [Spring-Forward Floral Design Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-time-collection.md)
