Over the years I have seen Ikat spring up every few years and it's usually been done in the same vein: a mid to large print on a shift cotton dress or on a pair of pegged ankle length pants.
To me, the best designing involves tweaking a pre-existing idea to make it new, fresh and interesting. Otherwise, really, what is the point?
So the three items pictured peaked my interest. A mixed media printed skirt (2 different prints/panels of prints) on flowing silk chiffon. A pair of printed skinny jeans. Lastly, an Ikat printed rug.
One definitely won't look dated wearing or displaying any of these items! They're so fresh and new!
