Hippie:
The world of crazy colors and psychedelic prints has made a comeback! Inspired by all of those things you did in the 70's but will never tell your kids about. Designers this season found their spark by channeling Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon mixed with some American Indian accessories and motifs. This time around the colors are more electric and eye catching. Mother Nature definitely got the shaft on this resurgence.

Tribal:Taking cues from African and Asian inspired cultures, exotic prints hit the runways this season. I wonder if anyone paid for the rights to these beautiful prints... A lot of Black and cream are being mixed with muted colors to create a more "natural" color pallet. Wood and bone hardware complete the look - maybe even a grass skirt here or there.
