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 Gratacós , 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 Gratacós, 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 Gratacós , 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 Gratacós, 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—and creating—is also a way of taking a stand.

Welcome to a summer that’s anything but boring!

Little by little, it seems that we return to a certain normality. And an indicator of this is our physical participation in Première Vision Paris. This fair that takes place twice a year is one of the most specialized and influential in the world for manufacturers of fabrics.  Exhibitors present all the new collections coming one year ahead. This year, Gratacós is present again to kick off one of our most special proposals: Autumn- Winter 2022/2023. We say that it is “special” because the pandemic is representing a year of great challenges for the company to maintain creativity, production and sales , without overlooking innovation and sustainability that characterizes our business.

Broadly speaking, the new collection is a solid and choral proposal, which shows our desire to work and continue advancing through the generation of ideas, the creation of creative products and the investigation of new trends. A proposal based on the strength of colour, print and designs with great visual presence. We play with contrasting tones, unique prints and add an extra touch of fantasy because we believe that it is more necessary than ever. To do this, we mix flowers of different shapes and styles with geometric motifs , handicrafts, surprising textures,  simplified neo Pucci motifs and neo William Morris with spacious backgrounds. All this to create a surprising game of harmonies, colour, light and tone that we believe will leave no-one indifferent.

The hug as the backbone

“We feel like going out and showing our joy, energy and positivity,” assures Rosa Pujol, creative director of Gratacós. Under this first premise, the Fall- Winter 22/23 collection has been structured, even more than usual on quality, fantasy and luxury. Show to surprise others and to surprise ourselves, is a maximum requirement now in capital letters.

And in this desire to show the fanciful side of fashion, the mother concept that underpins the entire proposal for next winter intervenes: the hug. The symbol of the union of affection and of brotherhood among people, most evident in unstable times like we are experiencing. To hug is to embrace with arms, reach out, understand, restrain, and even include. The creeper plants also hug the logs and facades of houses. And we liked that concept that unites and creates a feeling of sympathy. Aesthetic and visual. In fact, it is a collection designed to embrace multiple markets and different occasions through versatile and surprising items.

“We feel like going out and showing our joy, energy and positivity”.

Embrace materials

The Autumn- Winter 2022/2023 collection embraces craftsmanship. The thick yarns, the obvious braiding and the hand-made finishes. It is also a season where texture communicates by itself through complex folds, 3D effects, opaque transparencies that hint without showing, and precious embossing that surprise by their lines and shapes.

This season, the creative team also aims to stimulate new sensibilities by bringing together two fabrics that a priori are not compatible with each other to create daring aesthetics in the same outfit. It is about daring through complementary items that together create compatible chromatic harmonies. Another characteristic of the season is the commitment to the brightness that the night jump gives to establish itself during the day through surprising fabrics that seek a subtle and fantasy point of light that is 100% wearable. Simple, but sophisticated.

Embrace colour

Colour, more than matter, is light and is developed conscientiously this season to achieve very attractive results. A luminosity  that makes us look better on the street. The collection works from the primary tones, through graphic prints , to the palette of metallics such as gold (solar energy) and silver (lunar energy) , mixed together.

As usual, in Première Vision Paris, three colour ranges will be presented. The first corresponds to a luminous band governed especially by radiant yellows and warm browns. The second card is the middle card with vibrant tones that go from oranges to blues and greens, to finish with fuchsias. Finally, the last letter corresponds to the neutrals and the duller tones, considered more masculine. A very interesting range that offers a great possibility of combinations as it is versatile and timeless.

Embrace nature

The Autumn- Winter 2022-2023 collection tries to strengthen the ties between man and closest nature through fabrics that refer to the beauty of plants. Garden inspiration returns through fabrics with plant motifs and country landscapes. As the writer and gardener, Jamaica Kincaid would say : “Gardens are spaces to connect us”. From Gratacós , the natural is also revalued with a commitment to the origin of the products and the raw material.

Finally, flowers also take over the collection in a particularly flowery winter. The flower is the protagonist of many of the fabrics with a variety of shapes, colors, sizes and arrangements.

Embrace geometry

Geometric motifs are very present in this coming season with fabrics that give a twist to the classics to attract the attention of the new generation of consumers: checks, polka dots, houndstooth or diamonds that are creatively combined to give new unexpected geometries.

In parallel, surprising combinations also arrive to generate all kinds of fantasies. The most extreme: combining two fabrics with graphic motifs that can be combined in the same outfit. Finally, although it is not an animal print season, in the next winter collection a fanciful item appears timidly such as a giraffe design Jacquard.
