The ITV regular shared his top picks for trending fruit print designs on the high street, but it was his own outfit that drew attention from viewers
Fashion expert Mark Heyes has had Lorraine viewers begging to find out where to buy a shirt he wore last week while showcasing one of this season’s juiciest trends. The 48-year-old was hosting a segment on fruity fashion for the ITV morning show, and while he shared details of the model’s outfits, it was his own that viewers were desperate for the details for.
Writing on Instagram, the style guru shared snaps with the ladies behind the scenes at the ITV studio. He captioned it: “One of my favourite trends of the summer has to be fruit prints and it was looking good enough to eat today on @lorraine.”
He detailed the outfits worn by the women on the show, which featured items from New Look, M&S, Next and more. But it left his followers all with the same question.

“Loved this section and your fabulous shirt Mark,” said one, “Love your shirt. Where is it from?” “Great shirt Mark. Where’s it from please?”with another adding: “Love the olive shirt can you tell me where it’s from please?” However, not everyone was sold on the look, with one commenting: “Not for me sorry, Mark.”
For those who did adore the shirt, the design is available from River Island. It’s part of a collaboration between the high street retailer and artist Atlas Kalamata which launched in spring, featuring a range of fun, holiday-ready patterns.
