Fall Trend Alert: Novelty Prints

Never heard of novelty prints? Me neither — until Roberts introduced this wonderful fall fashion trend. As she explained, a novelty print is a “new, original, or unusual print that often taps into the zeitgeist.” Or simply put, it’s an awesome print, usually kitsch, that evokes a certain era.

But you don’t even have to know that to appreciate novelty prints. Roberts loves prints that feature animals (Quirk does too), especially when it “looks like a print from far away, but is really made up of tiny little animals that can only be seen up close.” In case you’re curious, more masculine animals, like deer, are very popular at the moment.
