Paradise Lost

With summer fast approaching, why not echo your forthcoming travels in the form of exotic prints. The ubiquitous floral trend has taken a new venture, one deep into the tropics. Transport yourself to those sandy shores, cocktail in hand and mini umbrella of course. If your imagination isn’t quite there and the thought of having to wait for sunnier climes to wear these prints has you veering away from the trend, then try integrating these pieces into your transitional wardrobe. For inspiration Altuzarra took a vacation to Waikiki, his SS’ 12 collection was a mass of oversized prints featuring hibiscus flowers, palm trees parrots and even flamingos. While Proenza Schouler and Stella McCartney used fun Hawaiian prints.

If it has plumage, sundrenched colours, floral arrangements and a toucan or two, you have the trend covered. Welcome to paradise…wish you were here, TSC!
