SS15 NYFW: Trending the Florals

                                                        BY DEBORAH FERGUSON

 

      New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015 collections had a few prominent trends that were interpreted  by New York based  RTW designers . A few of which I would not have projected as they often avoid themes and trends that are obvious to a particular season.  Regardless the floral print fabrics  appeared in more than 10 RTW collections during NYFW and the most interesting versions were based on 1950's Hawaiian interior fabrics; large palm leave and larger flowers: Karen Walker ( ironically her collection theme was Garden People), Del Pozo; referencing Indonesia and Osklen who also referenced the larger leaf variety.

      In regards to strong floral fabric prints; Thom Browne's mix match and vibrant color combinations was the stand out collection in regards to the floral fabric print trend.  

    Bolder as less obvious floral; Peter Som, Prabal Gurung and Lie Sang Bang. Non fabric prints ; applique and embroidery; Anna Sui and Vivienne Tam had the stronger versions .
