Preen.

When I first read that Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi were inspired by decrepit floral patterns & Virgina Woolf, I thought this could be interesting. Preen gives the impression of a thoroughly futuristic brand and they have never ventured too far away from this. & Then I read that said floral prints were to be pixelated and I thought oh, fantastic, here comes that awful trend that circulated around Topshop for a season that noone really bought into, partially because it was truly horrendous. However, Preen have totally changed the dynamics of the floral pixel print. These prints are on super zoom, with a plethora of vivid, bold colours. Plus the way Bregazzi & Thornton have combined the pixel print with the original floral works fantastically. More silks to love here, too. Best Preen collection to date.
