With Halloween just three days away, I thought it would be fun to spotlight festive textile patterns from one of my favorite books, 1980s Fashion Print by Marnie Fogg (available at Amazon.com). Wonderfully curated, it features some of fashion’s best, from the neon to the glamazon. Here are some designer prints in the colors of Halloween:

And finally…as if tailor-made for a holiday that celebrates the art of the costume…

We hope you’ve enjoyed a little ’80s inspiration as the Halloween weekend approaches. Trick or treat in style, whatever your style may be…
