Prints have finally diversified into geometric, linear, circular, minimal, literally anything but florals this season. we share the believe with these prét designers that paisleys and flowers should stay on the lawns and bedsheets and not make their way into every print. Here are the designers who will help you break free from those mundane and boring prints. Hussayn Rehar and Neelo Allawala are steaming in with minimal and linear prints and our eyes are thankful for it.
