Clashing prints are splattered all over the Spring 2009 runways, from the wild mismatches of Wunderkind to the more subdued contrasts of Anna Sui. Here are a few of my picks.

Boys, take the cue from Marc by Marc Jacobs with this wide-striped button-down shirt and shorts with thin, vertical stripes. The plain jacket balances off the look.

I love how Miu Miu's artsy printed top and seemingly spray painted skirt create a quite sophisticated number layered with the solid black skirt and finished off with sexy black pumps.
Bet you're itching to start mixing and matching now! Have fun!
