A flower season
|
Silvia Liu
FLOWERS, everyone agrees, are beautiful, and never cease to give creative inspiration to fashion designers. When flower patterns first appeared in celebrities' dresses in the 1950s in Europe and the United States, people fell in love with them. And in this season, when designers never seem to tire of reviving the old days, large flower patterns are returning.
This time, they are louder than ever before. In dresses, brooches, necklaces, hairpins and almost everything that can be related to women's wear and accessories, they are creating a sexy, feminine and elegant touch.
Such trends brought by international brands have spread quickly in China's major cities, especially Shanghai, Beijing, and, of course, Shenzhen.
Tropical flowers bloom on skirts with kick pleats on the back, and geometric patterns have appeared on tight trousers with low-cut chiffon blouses.
Matched with black-and-white dresses with asymmetric hemlines, lace bustiers and ruffle collars, big embroidered flowers, most of them in the pattern of roses or camellia, are creating the perfect style for summer.
The flower patterns help to accomplish a romantic and reminiscent feel, while those used in women's accessories, usually embedded with golden brims to give a metal look, win fans of modernity. The most plain necklaces, simply made of plastic, fabrics or some low-priced metals, become fasinating and attractive at parties with large flowers in whatever colours at the centre. Or even a large red flower brooch at the corner of a pure black string dress really grabs attention.
