Blooming Marvellous

Florals are a classic spring summer trend – not groundbreaking perhaps and to keep the style fresh designers must re-create the trend in a unique way year on year.

2015 florals are seen in the style of bold psychedelic 60’s and 70’s, tropical greens, embellished 3D appliqué and botanically precise sketchings. Those flaunting flower power on the catwalk? House of Holland, Matthew Williamson, Dolce & Gabbana, Holly Fulton, Marchesa and Marni to name a few – and the high street is following suit.
