Flower Power

Floral prints have never been very much of an inspiration to me. They remind me of tacky motel wallpapers or my grandmother's skirt from the 1930s.

However, I must admit that after taking a look at the S/S 09 collections, my outlook on flowers has taken an 180º spin. From Tuleh, to Tracy Reese, to Peter Som, flower power seems to be back on the runway.

Petite floral prints, large bouquets and wildflowers – it’s the time when flowers bloom, and you will be seeing them in prints, embroidery and as borders on T-shirts and dresses.

Seems like I may be asking my grandmother for fashion advice sometime soon...
