Bring on the flower power! - Floral Fashion

A trend that we are seeing a lot of for this spring/summer is the floral trend.
Floral fashion has usually been soft colours and very feminine in the past, however this year we are seeing floral patterns that are striking colours and bold, much edgier looking.
This is something that Erdem have done very well. They had striking pieces in blues and greens with very bold statement patterns. They did however team this with lace which is another big trend, this made it a little more feminine but with the use of colour and the common use of a shirt and collar (on their runways) it helped to make it more of a statement.
Louis Vuitton has done the complete opposite however and gone with very little colour at all, the 2012 spring runway was mostly white dresses that were very textured with 3D flowers that seemed to pop out. There was also some slight dip dying but only very light colours were used. I have shown the dresses that were shown in pastel colours as these were my favourite ones and so not the white ones. Celebs have also been seen wearing the trend like Lizzie Olsen in dress by Porenza schouler that costs £1920 and Jessica Alba in Erdem.
You can achieve the same look by visiting the UK high street 
as I have seen a lot of floral pieces on offer.
