Prints used for high street brands

 

Zara

 

Zara usually uses animal prints such as using dogs, cats and zebra’s. However throughout my research I have found this season they have used more mosaic tile prints, like these two examples below. I noticed that the quality is usually good- very good in brands such as Zara and Topshop, the type of quality usually reflects in the price, with printed t shirts costing around 15 pounds. They prints are on a satin-like material giving it a more luxurious and expensive look.

 

 

In addition to the tile prints shown previously, floral prints have also made an appearance. The example below shows a floral block printed tunic. This would be a fairly simple technique, because a lot of these garments are produced a machine would’ve created the print. The other example of the floral printed top has been printed onto silk, this would cost slightly more as silk is an expensive fabric, this would be reflected in the price.
