Even if prints are a strong presence in fashion, many women still shy away from them. How should one wear them without looking overwhelmed?

When you do printed clothes, you can't go crazy with the style because the wearer will end up looking like an art installation. Printed clothes with so many seams look weird and futuristic. The cut has to be in a simple, precise line that's spot on with fit and maximises the beauty of the print. The sleek style of the '70s is where I look for inspiration.
