A trend that has been around for a while (you know I am a fan from previous posts like John Robshaw and Artist Anne Becker’s Global Style) I am happy to report that Ikat prints are still all the rage (warning: please use them in moderation). Ikat is a style of weaving that uses a (tie-dye like) process before the threads are woven to create a pattern or design. This process is used all over the world, and through common usage, the word has come to describe both the process and the cloth itself. These prints can be found everywhere and below is a collection of surprising new ways to show off the fab style. As always, the images open up to the actual store for easy access, but I am also including product description and pricing since people have asked for that :)
