Botanical beauty
Nature is undeniably beautiful. Therefore, adorning ourselves in leafy glade renditions or the magical mystique of a lush green forest reflects our free-spirited feminine wiles.
Karen Walker has her own take on the botanical twist. Her ‘Runaway Girl’ pendant has turned woodland nymph, now dangling an adorable oversized acorn as a change from her trademark knapsack.
And for earrings, the elegant silhouette of dragonflies are seen hovering under earlobes.
Green is serene, calm and cool. It’s the big shade for 2020 fashion.
So botanical-inspired prints are a natural flow, branching out in all directions from mint to emerald.
Florals part the way for tropical jungle palm leaves to reign on summer dresses.
Lush rainforests through to sweeter daisy-dotted meadows glam up the green palette.
Foliage set on a white background is crisp, fresh couture, while retro botanical prints give classic vintage detailing.
Nature provides enough individuality to inspire designs from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and timeless icons like Dior who have been down the botanical path before.
This time it’s not for shrinking violets, as larger-than-life fronds adorn jumpsuits, summer trench coats and floaty skirts, through to bags, hair accessories and sunglasses.
