Como La Flor — Bursting With Blooms For Spring 2012
Every spring, designers bring us flowers, literally plastering roses, daffodils, peonies, orchids, poppies, lilies, daisies, bluebells, sunflowers, hydrangeas, marigolds, and tulips all over ladylike skirts, dresses, blouses, tanks, pants, handbags, pumps, sandals, jumpsuits, light coats, and rompers. This season, however, they’re swapping daintier, more prim and delicate bloom prints for bolder patterns — whether it’s via lush, forest-worthy landscapes; abstract and pixelated blossom renditions; flora depicted in watercolor-esque strokes; 1960s-inspired patterns in quirky pinks and greens; exotic, tropical blossoms in unabashedly vibrant hues; or graphic illustrations with thick outlines.
Below, you’ll find a bouquet of freshly-picked fashions to spruce up your spring wardrobe. Smell the flowers, gals!
