• Intricate linear patters have a clean urban graphic appeal. 
• Stitchwork and contrast threads introduce a handcrafted element. 
• Matching patterned accessories create all-over print looks.

• Regatta stripes are reconfigured and repositioned for a fresh look. 
• Bold blocking and proportional play update classic prints.
