having seen enough polka, damask, stripes, waves in 2008. Does anyone have a take on the upcoming pattern trends for 2009? I read yellow is a color that will come up a lot. Any patterns speak out? All input is really appreciated. Thx.

I have been seeing more and more black+yellow patterns, makes me vomit. I have noticed more stripes, I really think those and all the-dot sort of things are coming back. bendi

The usual plaid, tartan, argyle. And more of the crazy abstract geometric stuff (new rave or whatnot).

It's funny, I was at a pattern show a couple weeks ago and someone asked one of the pattern vendors what is hot right now in patterns. The person selling patterns quickly glances at a stack of patterns and is like, "um... this one and this one...." as if they would say something like "oh such and such is going to be hot, but I don't have anything like that".

are we talking fashion/ textile patterns, web BG's, or just design in general.. ?

OP mentions "polka, damask, stripes, waves" so I'm guessing textile, but that's just me.

patterns generally seen in print, packaging, collateral. Their inspiration can be from fashion/textiles.

the abstract geometric and islamic tiling inspired thing has been pretty hot for a while now.
also safari prints, ethnic tribal stuff mashed up with 80's cheese... think MIA.
and hand-drawn/ doodle stuff.
but i think the allover pattern thing is starting to fade in the fashion/streetwear industry at least.
