No Shrinking Violets for LFW SS16

I love florals.  They can either make a woman's look romantic or ridiculous.  These designers know how to use florals to create a new modern fairytale of fashion look.

Erdem combines a Victorian and flamenco style dress with a light creamy yellow with red flower print fabric.  This look sets a new tone for sexiness in women's ready to wear.

Holly Fulton took a funk whimsical floral dot print in light and dark purples for a romantic modern retro pant look.  I love the dark print and light top.  The sleeve link on the blouse is lovely with a bell ruffle.

Paul Smith designed a lovely simple wrap dress in a lovely small cheetah print with teal leaf appliques down the front.  The burnt orange leather tie belt adds to a woodland element.

Temperley by Alice Temperley always turns out a romantic storybook line.  This lovely folkloric style print dress is truly beautiful in a casual way.  The navy blue fabric with the mauve and plums in the design creates a very dreamy but strong aesthetic.

Topshop surprised with a feminine line for SS16.  This lace dress with floral applique on hip & thigh is quite groovey.  It has a new sexiness that we are starting to see in fairytales of fashion.

These florals present a new type of floral print and use in fashion for the genre of fairytale style.  The prints are powerful and not ethereal.  I am loving it.

Cheers!
