It is not revolutionary
that florals are the popular for spring, but florals are being manipulated in some very interesting ways that are far from ordinary this year.
Traditional floral patterns have
morphed into graphically enchanting figures, and paired with
geometric shapes to add even more interest to the garments. Mission
accomplished. Proenza Schouler created a jungle pattern to make up the skirt
in the look above. To act as a balance, the designers have paired the exciting
pattern with geometric shapes of complementary colors, making the look even more
intriguing.
Mirroring prints on a garment has
recently become a trend, and can be seen not only on the runway, but in affordable brands. Bottega Veneta uses the mirror effect to
create two panels with floral accents on the side of the garment, and by doing
that creates a whimsical pattern in the center of the piece. The mirroring
effect adds interest to the garment and also compliments the form of a woman.
It is safe
to say that although florals are in fact “in” this spring, they have never
been seen like this before.
