Trend of the week: Florals

Blossoming power prints – what more could a gal want, asks Annmarie O’Connor. 

INSPIRATION

This season isn’t your average garden party. The perennial floral trend may have raised its head but the buds are far from darling. Retro, graphic, bold and abstract – spring 2015 is both playful and bloomin’ empowering!

STYLE NOTES

Floral jackets trump last spring’s tricky trouser trend. Nail the look with culottes and trainers for laid back luxe.

Come up smelling of roses with a red hot floral appliqué dress à la Dolce and Gabbana.

Like your blooms avant garde? Make like Marni with asymmetric hems and kimonostyle silhouettes for a hint of Eastern Promise.

Bit of a classicist? Floral tea dresses, like those seen at Céline, boast timeless appeal.
