“Florals for spring…. Groundbreaking”….
…But yet somehow they are
From Zara to Dolce and gabbana the industry took botanical to another level for spring/summer 2016
Top applied appliqué / embellishment create detail of interest and can make a girl feel like she’s surrounded by the chicest of gardens
Nostalgic for a simpler time
Channel your inner flower-child
For, 60’s and 70’s messages are stronger than ever
I attended a trend forecasting presentation earlier this year
And one of the speakers said nothing is at this time vintage, but new, by adding details, add ons create fresh innovative looks
It’s not just a floral print

Dolce Gabbana
Floral motifs are used in lace and leather….
….pieced in…
…embellished…
…laser cut…
…and used in grand jacquard patterns
This is a great spotlight for designers like Dolce and Gabbana who are always on the ornate train…

This trend is indeed trickled down to mainstream market as well
Zara utilized florals in the silk / satin head to toe dressing well-known in the 60’s
