Creepy crawlies are lurking in the dark corners of the fashion scene. This season’s abuzz with the insect-inspired bee print trend.
Bee patterns decorating clothing in particularly summer dresses are having a moment. While butterfly prints were winging their presence back in 2009, this year’s flock of bee prints present a different kind of vibe.
Far from the butterfly’s effortless ethereal mysticism, bees in their original and truest forms are quite frankly disturbing especially if one is phobic of insects.
All insects except for medium-sized butterflies and tiny ladybirds get my heart-pumping in a flight-or-flee kind of mode so I am personally horrified by this insect-inspired print trend, just like snake prints.
Fortunately, for those who have an all-inclusive love and fascination for all kinds of insects, it appears that bees are being highlighted at this fashion juncture and if you are looking to expand your insect-inspired wardrobe, bee prints would be a great quirky addition.

“The fashion look of teens and twenty somethings — once so cutting edge — is now, like most of the music played on the radio, a matter of routine. Safe, tired, everywhere.” — Phil Strongman, Pretty Vacant: A History of UK Punk
