Oh I want to be wearing Prabal Gurung! New York fashion week A/W 2011 Prabal Gurung presented a brilliant collection. I absolutely loved it, I want to be wearing wide length pants, red dresses and feathers next season. Wonder if Prabal Gurung was inspired by 'Little Red Riding Hood' for his red dresses. Seems like puffy wide sleeves are looking to be a key trend for Fall 2011.
As one of those individuals who has self diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a phrase I am not likely to be heard uttering is “hurry up winter!” However I am finding myself gazing at trees with the notion of embracing my inner eight year old and climbing them to howl it from the treetops. The reason being?
Winters chilly arrival heralds the departure (less morbid word than death don’t you think) of most flowers. Fashion gods willing this will also include the departure of floral print.
Whilst I am guilty of possessing floral print clothing (a cute light blazer bought for a recent trip to Dubai), I can’t help but begin to detest it.
Personally I assume the trend was not intended for head to toe including matching shoes and bag to resemble what would happen if Amsterdam’s famous flower market exploded over plain clothing and created one single look. The floral is becoming a high street eyesore which is compelling me to ditch the summer look and pull out my vintage fur cape ready for the autumn.
In addition to floral prints being overdone on the high street, they have also been overdone at the summer music festivals where the flowers have been trampled on as the bleary eyed festival goers stampede from the venue in a partied out haze.
Please save us all from this eye sore and do this with your floral prints.
