Considered a Spring pattern with a timeless charm, the Paisley design is making again heads turn. Runways love it and the IT-Girls, in the middle of this bohemian wave that poured the entire fashion jet set, can no longer do without it making it the most desirable pattern of this coming warm seasons.
But what is exactly the Paisley design? History, that places it in the far east, wants that this particular design depicts the Boteh o Buta, a drop shaped plant motif with a Persian origin. Used since its origins as an ornamental design, it immediately became super fashionable, being shown off in most of the Middle East and central-south Asia fabrics. Thanks to the English colonisation then, the tear shaped print reached Europe and the shawls with this particular pattern became so famous that many weavers in the city of Paisley in Scotland dedicated themselves to the weaving of this design, that later on took the same name of the city.
The Paisley elegance and the one of its colors palette, that vary from mustard yellow to petrol green to switch from brown to violet, have immediately become the obsession of some of the biggest names in the 90’s fashion industry, who made of it the leitmotiv of all their collections. Etro is the first in line, who made of it a real trend to the point that in Milan, where the brand’s headquarter is, there’s a building in the company library with the entire Paisley textile art archive.
Today, more than ever, Paisley is again a great trend that gives an hippie-chic allure to most of the coolest Instagram‘s outfits. It is no coincidence that, during the first Coachella 2019 weekend, the Paisley clothes have been the real object of desire of some of the most famous fashion victims, like our Valentina Ferragni.
