London in Bloom

Following their success earlier this year, florals have been popping up with the tenacity of snow daisies. For spring/summer London Fashion Week '09, models were transmuted into living bouquets. The season itself was the obvious inspiration for this blossoming trend, with designers displaying vibrant illustrations and blurred hothouse motifs in their delightful fashions.

Flower lovers will swathe themselves in large, graphic floral prints, while those allergic to the impact of oversized patterns can opt for a quieter take on the flowery trend by choosing summery dresses and silky scarves in mid-sized prints.
