Flowers, fashion = fab looks for spring

January 22, 2008

Calling all fashionistas: Flowers have been picked this spring – they’re all over the place in clothes, accessories, makeup and jewelry.

Second City Style Fashion Blog secondcitystyle.typepad.com reports this week: “Everything is coming up roses … and peonies, hydrangeas, tulips, gladiolas … you get the idea. You can already see how huge this trend will be on everything from apparel, to bags to shoes.”

Check out Second City’s pix for lots of floral-inspired couture and, speaking of shoes, the Prada Camoscio Glamour Suede Sandal is really darling.

New Straits Times Online nst.com.my spotted the trend as well: “Flowers are no longer confined to gardens … they are everywhere.” This site highlights the Dior Flower Blossom compact dior.com (see below) as well as cosmetics from Guerlain, Shu Uemura and Giorgio Armani.

WWD wwd.com reported late last year that fragrance maker Bond No. 9 is launching a fragrance collection, Andy Warhol Union Square, based on Andy Warhol’s “Flowers.” It’s set to come out in March.

Flowers are also a stylish staple in jewelry as Kim Cattrall of “Sex and the City” fame can attest. Cattrall was photographed several weeks ago wearing a chunky silver ring with petals aplenty.

Meanwhile, gizmodiva.com recently featured some great Swarovski crystal flower bangles, viecouture.com highlighted a Guess multi-flower ring and flower-motif accessories pop up regularly on stylehive.com.

Updating my spring wardrobe just got a whole lot easier!
