Collection 2025 Mariano Moreno
Fashion contradicts itself, and that’s part of its charm. Today we no longer live in linear cycles where one trend replaces the previous. Opposing styles coexist in the same season, broadening the creative spectrum. And that’s precisely what’s happening this summer. While the colour palette focuses on the softness of pastel tones and powdery hues, prints do just the opposite: they scream. They’re dressed in colour, energy, and excess.
Maximalism is making a strong comeback, taking over fabrics with a clear attitude: fearless, unfiltered, and without asking permission. And at Gratac贸s , where we’ve always celebrated contradictions as a creative starting point, we embrace it with enthusiasm.
2025 invites us to dream big. No discretion. Bold, vibrant, and artistically inspired prints become allies of designers, interior designers, and style lovers who shun the predictable. Monumental florals, abstract brushstrokes, unstable geometries, and lines of colour with a retro soul invade runways, salons, and streets with a new intensity.
It’s the era of the visual statement : dressing not just to be seen, but to speak volumes. Below, we review three major print trends that will define the SS25 season.

XXL Flowers: The garden overflows
This season, an exaggerated, wild, and profoundly contemporary botanical style flourishes. Floral motifs expand, distort, and reclaim their space with a visual exuberance that leaves no one indifferent. Think of artistically drawn peonies, saturated-hued hibiscus, or oversized tropical leaves: shapes that expand across the fabric as if alive, freed from any classic contours.
Ink stains merge with the background, contours drawn with expressive lines, overflowing watercolour effects, blurred shadows, black and white montages with colour accents, or compositions that look like they’ve come from a digital herbarium. Anything goes, as long as it’s bold, showy, and excessive. It’s a new floral language: more abstract than literal, more expressionist than decorative.
These prints find their best ally in fabrics with body and movement: gauzy organzas, satiny cottons, fluid silks, or embossed jacquards. Materials that allow colour to breathe, shapes to expand, and the garment to become a moving garden.
At Gratac贸s, this trend comes to life through large-scale floral fabrics with artistic prints and finishes that enhance the vibrant colours. Ideal for statement pieces that celebrate vitality, emotion, and unrestricted modernity.

Abstract art and free geometry
Not every print needs a flower. Sometimes a gesture is enough. A loose stroke, a splash of colour, a line that curves or breaks. In 2025, fabrics become living canvases where abstraction and geometry come together to create compositions full of rhythm, texture, and emotion.
Spontaneous brushstrokes, watercolour splashes, shapes reminiscent of action. Painting or sketchbook graphics: print art abandons figuration to focus on gestures. This trend coexists with another trend that is gaining strength: irregular and graphic geometries, as if drawn freehand. Imperfect grids, repetitive blocks interrupted by voids, floating dots, circular connections, or divisions that decisively break classical harmony.
The result is a new generation of prints where visual emotion replaces ornament. A balance between the technical and the poetic, between mathematical structure and deliberate imperfection.
These prints work especially well on fabrics that allow the design to flow: soft twills, drapey crepes, full-bodied viscose fabrics, or satin silks where the colour vibrates more deeply. They’re perfect for flowing garments, statement shirts, or loose-fitting pants that move with their own flow.
At Gratac贸s , this trend translates into fabrics with abstract prints and contemporary graphics that appear hand-painted or structured with imperfect precision. These designs stimulate creativity and allow you to play with pattern as a starting point for a distinct visual story.

Stripes, nostalgia and graphic pop: the most vibrant revival
Stripes have never been around, but in 2025 they’re back with a new visual energy. They’re no longer discreet or sober. Now they’re widening, curving, and crisscrossing. They’re dressed in vibrant colours, overlapping fearlessly, drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of the 60s and 70s and blending with influences from contemporary graphic design.
This revival brings with it a visual joy that is expressed through candy Stripes , acidic palettes, deliberately clashing colour combinations, abstract lines that blur in motion, or compositions reminiscent of industrial graphic art. Motifs that look like they’ve been taken from a beach blanket, a circus tent, or a pop silkscreen poster.
The visual impact is immediate, but also structural. These stripes act as a reading direction: they lengthen, widen, or redraw the silhouette. In some cases, they even generate optical effects that merge body and pattern into a single visual architecture.
The ideal fabrics for this trend are those that offer crisp lines and rich colour saturation: technical cottons, multicoloured jacquards, structured poplins, or graphic satins that combine body and shine. There are also more relaxed versions in linens or rayons, perfect for summer garments with personality.
At Gratac贸s, this trend is embodied in striped fabrics with a vintage feel and colour combinations that play with harmony and contrast. A meeting point between nostalgia and contemporary design, designed for designers seeking rhythm, character, and their own graphic style.
In a summer where prints take centre stage, florals explode, lines create new narratives, and retro graphics make a strong comeback, fabrics become a tool for limitless expression. Because if this season reminds us of anything, it’s that dressing鈥攁nd creating鈥攊s also a way of taking a stand.
Welcome to a summer that’s anything but boring!
