flora+fauna

flower motifs are sprouting up on many a runway in new york and london. floral is always a strong spring trend, but designers are amplifying the print into fields of floral dresses, dizzying layers of petals and stems, and realistic digital prints. no longer reserved for subtle embellishments, flowers are growing wild across the fabric of spring.
