But as others have commented, it has to be the <i>right</i> print in the right scale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1212131 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 12:51:13 +0000 April 1212131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them peeking out from beneath a jacket. &nbsp;Less so in the "overall overall". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1212117 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 12:28:21 +0000 Caro 1212117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these examples are amazing! I have never been one for big graphic prints, but I do like some of the things here. Have been seeing a lot of this, staring with the Eleven Paris celebrity mustache t-shirts,&nbsp;but now they are everywhere. Esprit has a line of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/T-shirts-ET-Polo-shirts-women-st-10617-10170-0-brand229.php" rel="nofollow">photographic print t-shirts</a> in their new collection as well.&nbsp;I think they look cute; as with everything the&nbsp;key is knowing how to wear it. The real problem for me though is that I think this look will go out of style just as quickly as it came in, and we'll be left with all these printed tops that we don't want to wear anymore--budget is a huge factor in my fashion décisions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1212085 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 10:52:52 +0000 viva 1212085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harmonica, there is something crazy cool about that Paul Smith seascape print shirt that I love. It feels very 70s-disco with its shape and OTT print, but the details of the print are vintage. I'm not sure why I find it so appealing. So ugly it's cute? I think I'd actually wear it.</p> <p>And Anna, that typewriter dress! Amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1212033 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 07:40:47 +0000 harmonica 1212033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this trend, but as Janet and Rae said, it's hard to find the right print.

If I could find something in a black and white that I liked I would definitely consider adding an item with photographic print to my wardrobe.

And if you ever do it, please let me know.</p> <p>Right now, I keep coming back to the Sara Beltran tropical totes. Not particularly inventive but very practical and I admit that I love the beachy vibe -- especially in this B&amp;W one with flamingo pink piping. Cliche maybe, but I still love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211666 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:36:51 +0000 rabbit 1211666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: &nbsp;Just found this site which does recent ratings for online print your own t shirt companies:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.printaholic.com/our-reviews/t-shirts/">http://www.printaholic.com/our-reviews/t-shirts/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211663 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:34:42 +0000 Windchime 1211663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this trend a lot and find it keeps catching my eye in stores and in photos. Like others, I won't purchase until I find an image which is just right for me, but I would definitely wear the right item. I might prefer it for S/S when there's a more lighthearted approach to dressing, at least for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211585 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 19:58:11 +0000 rabbit 1211585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them if the image is right (not too cliche, good quality print and feels good to touch, placement is modern). &nbsp;In your examples I'd totally go for the first and maybe&nbsp;last one.</p> <p><b>Janet </b>- you should make one with one of your images! &nbsp;I've been meaning to do this, probably starting with a test drive on zazzle. &nbsp;I think the key will be figuring out if there is print space limitation on the tee how to work that into the design with matching background and tee-shirt colors or something. &nbsp; Ideally you could print the whole surface but I'm not sure where will do that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211507 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 18:26:04 +0000 Eliza 1211507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this concept and like others, would have to have the right image/s in just the right places on the garment. Nice examples! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211488 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 18:04:42 +0000 Inge 1211488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For myself, it would have to be exactly the right one (I will know it when I see it;-), but I do love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211474 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:55:55 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1211474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I found the right one I'd consider it - I like them visually but often the screenprinting process leaves the fabric feeling not so great - no drape, kinda stiff. Maybe that's because most of what I've seen is low-end; probably designer pieces have less of that issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211450 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:32:12 +0000 rachylou 1211450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big Yay on photographic prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211426 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:54:22 +0000 LACeleste 1211426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am such a fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211420 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:45:51 +0000 kkards 1211420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;i really&nbsp;like this. great way to do pattern </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211419 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:44:52 +0000 catgirl 1211419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love photo prints!

Janet - I love the idea of putting one of your photo's on some fabric! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211414 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:41:42 +0000 Diana 1211414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!&nbsp; I agree that the execution can be tricky, but I've seen some really beautiful ones.</p> <p>And Janet, I bet your photos would make amazing fabric! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211413 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:41:13 +0000 Ingunn 1211413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rae and Janet said! I think they can be gorgeous, but the prints must be right. Your examples are all really great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211411 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:39:06 +0000 rae 1211411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love all those! Fashionizing.com says photo prints are going to big in FW, too. Although like Janet, I have been really picky about the photos I like, I really dig the trend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211409 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:37:16 +0000 Janet 1211409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a little biased, but I love them. Sometimes I like the concept more than the execution, but by and large, this is a trend I really like. I have had a hard time finding the right piece for me, however. </p> <p>I keep saying I'm going to print some fabric with some of my photographs and work on some designs of my own... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photographic-prints-yay-or-nay#post-1211407 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:35:02 +0000 viva 1211407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know these aren't necessarily new, but they are cropping up in a lot of places now. I was poking around in Ted Baker to look again at Ingunn's tee and found a very cool t-shirt with a "regency house" print and another with an Italian village along the hem. Then, at Tibi, I saw an interesting floral that makes use of a photo-like collage of cactii. And I've been eyeing clutches and totes by Sara Beltran for my upcoming vacation. <br />What do you think of these kinds of prints?</p> <p><a href="http://www.tedbaker.com/row/Womens/Clothing/Tops-T-shirts/KEEPA-Regency-houses-printed-top-Light-Grey/p/109035-09-LIGHT-GREY" rel="nofollow">http://www.tedbaker.com/row/Wo.....LIGHT-GREY</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.tibi.com/shop/new-arrivals/fiore-di-cactus-sleeveless-top-29811" rel="nofollow">http://www.tibi.com/shop/new-a.....-top-29811</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.dezsosara.com/category/pouches-totes" rel="nofollow">http://shop.dezsosara.com/category/pouches-totes</a></p>
