History of Geometric Prints
Geometric patterns are among the oldest in human history — appearing in ancient Greek pottery, Islamic tilework, and African textiles. In modern fashion, geometric prints were popularized by the Op Art movement of the 1960s and have remained a staple of bold, graphic design ever since.
