FLOWERS BLOOM IN WOMENSWEAR
Season...
As we welcome spring season, a wardrobe update is in store. Read to know, what’s in for this
With the advent of spring season, the sunnier days have arrived, so a wardrobe update is must. It will soon be the time to pack away thick jackets, long coats, dark colored pieces and heavy winter clothing to make way for light, breezy designs, colour and springlike motifs. This year, spring will once again be rich in floral prints, in head-to-toe looks or in small touches, with mini or extra-large blooms and in multicolored or monochrome shades. Flowers, a symbol of renaissance and rejuvenation, are synonymous with springtime. Soon, roses, daisies, tulips, sunflowers and lilies of the valley will all be in bloom, brightening up our lives and our wardrobes. This season, the fashion world is also set to blossom, with dresses, blouses, jumpsuits, T-shirts and accessories covered in floral prints. As ever, the floral trend started on the runway, back in September and October 2016, when a lot of labels showed collections featuring colourful silhouettes splashed with flowers of all kinds. In Milan, flowers were everywhere, seen in retro, sportswear, ultra-feminine and casual looks. Roberto Cavalli mixed flowers with other motifs on tops, dresses and flared pants, Blumarine used them on ultra-lightweight sheer pieces, and Dolce & Gabbana splashed XXL blooms over all its collection, including accessories. The trend didn’t escape the labels showing collections in Paris either. Chloé notably showcased a floral wardrobe blooming from head to toe, with a romantic and retro vibe, mixing different prints. Paul & Joe focused on flowers too, bringing florals to frilled creations and layering blooms over other motifs, such as stripes. Finally, Léonard Paris brought flowers to long dresses in abstract interpretations, as if inspired by paintings, in a poetic and feminine style.
