Spring 2025 Trends • Palette Knife • Processes

Chapter 2 of the Spring 2025 Trends Report – Palette Knife – explores fabric prints, motifs, cuts, and processes through five key sections: Processes, Cut & Slash, Patterns, Prints & Motifs, and Motif Style.

In Processes, designers manipulate fabric and change its appearance, making use of techniques including bleaching, dip-dye, and color gradients. Fabric is made to look as though it is stonewashed, or given so much shine that it is iridescent.
