What would spring be without a bit of blossom? The oracles of fashion have defined the trend not to miss: flowers… in all shapes and sizes. Some designers lean towards romanticism “natural beauty” style in chiffon dresses printed with cornflowers and pansies teamed with wooden wedges as seen at Stella McCartney or in liberty patchwork worn with sandals as seen at D&G. The dreamy look is the same at John Galliano, with a chic 1920s inspired style, where flowers appear as prints, embroideries, pleats and even accessories. Missoni meanwhile goes for the oversized flower. Hand-painted flowers create an impressive look at Dolce & Gabbana. At Gucci, the emphasis is more rock, with graphic prints based around black, white and yellow. Kenzo and Yohji Yamamoto use primary colours blue, red and yellow. And latex flowers even make an appearance on pale pink and yellow swimming costumes at Sonia Rykiel.
