Runway Report Part 3: The Floral Influence

On the runway, flowers were everywhere this season. But many designers came up with new and interesting ways to use them that we haven’t seen before.

The fist dress, a Monique Lhuillier called “Bouquet” has a beautiful floral tulle and organza corset bodice. I love this dress because the textured floral pattern is fresh and modern while the overall style of the dress is classically beautiful. Monique’s collection was inspired by the Tuilleries Gardens in Paris and lead her to create gowns that were “soft, feather weight and luminous.”

The second dress, “Angelic” by Reem Acra is a silk taffeta ball gown with woven hand detail. One of the stand out features of Reem’s collection, which she describes as “the very picture of romance and mysticism,” were the hand made floral belts. The belt featured on this dress is a stunning combination of the most beautiful shades of red and magenta, beaded accents and velvet ribbon. There were other belts in the collection that were shades of deep blue and green. They gave the dresses a very unique romantic and vintage feeling. And while these belts don’t come as part of the dresses, they can be requested on special order. Or, if you’re a crafty type of person, and want to try and make one yourself, check out the beautiful vintage flowers, trims and appliqués at the Tinsel Trading Company online or at their store in New York City.

Best,

Julie
