Summer always seems the time for cute, conversational prints and this year has been no different. Maybe it’s the sunshine, maybe it’s the tan or maybe its the rosé but something can give us a little courage to walk around covered in lemons {or cherries, watermelons, or flamingo’s} and this year a little print trend has caught our eye. Or should we say mouths. The Lip Print.
If you google Yves Saint Laurent lip print dress 1971 {ok, ok you don’t have to as we did it for you here} you’ll see a dress that wouldn’t look out of place on the Instagram feeds of all our current favourite niche brands {Rouge, Reformation, Ganni and Realisation Par we are talking about you} The tea dress shape and the 2 tone lip print: both slot seamlessly into today’s current trend’s but we aren’t really into the £6k price tag. Miuccia Prada’s 2000 lip and lipstick prints took these feminine objects and arranged them into geometric patterns making lipsticks look like bullets as a reference to make up to being a form of armour.
So it seems like the lip print has quite the iconic sartorial status and unless you happen to have a super stylish aunty who might have a YSL version kicking around in her attic then fear not, we have picked out a few lip print styles that are lipsmackingly good and more within our price ranges!
Happy shopping, MWAH!
