It’s not just maxi-dresses that display a propensity for print; this summer busy, bright patterns are proliferating on clothing, cosmetics, shoes and even camping gear.

Consider, for example, the following items that will be appearing as a result of a collaboration with the print designer Celia Birtwell: (1) Olivia Morris shoes with Birtwell’s “Jungle Gardenia” and “California” prints; (2) a clothing line by US chain Express in Birtwell archive prints; and (3) a range of tents, wellington boots and other accessories by Millets, a British outdoor specialist, again in Birtwell’s trademark textiles.
