Moody Florals

We are use to seeing floral trend during the Spring/Summer runway but this time we spotted florals earlier this year on the fall runway since February. This is because this floral trend has reinvent a dark twist, which will be perfect for this winter. Its lush bloom colour pallet of deep purple, burnt orange, dark red on blacken silks and chiffon giving us a romantic autumn vibe. The look is organic and dark with a hint of flesh (in both sheer and cut outs) and the florals are delicate and soft in perfect balance with each other to create an elegant feminine silhouette. Erdem chose to scatter their darker florals with lemon yellow and red spots, Lanvin and Giambattista Valli went graphics with their florals while Oscar De La Renta and Mulberry look to tapestry for their inspirations. Valentino and Vera Wang opted for a vintage style with Valentino using embroidery on lace and Vera Wang with shiny prints on satin, both leaving the floral to speak for itself. The trend works for both masculine and feminine style. Pair it with leather jacket and boots with stained lips like Givenchy for a tougher look. Or channel moody femme fatale with middle parting hair, messy brows and nude glossy lips like Valentino.
