January 2018 www.womanthismonth.com FASHION | mood board 22 Flowers are synonymous with spring. However, it is well known that designers also find inspiration in colourful posies to paint their autumn and winter collections. The prints usually come on dark backgrounds to set the tone for the shorter days and longer nights. They are bolder than ever, coming in realistic 3D and intricate bouquets. The creations from the Vietnamese designer Nguyen Cong Tri are breathtaking, with different types of plants blooming on the backs of coats and dresses. Gucci went deeper with radiant and welldefined vine, while Tory Burch made blooms pop in shiny gold. Complex shaped earrings are just the thing to enhance that boring look or to complement a tailored outfit. The small detail becomes a statement and steals the scene. Delicate buds are imprinted on nails and the artistic make-up industry feels inspired by floral colours and shapes for a beyond-imagination composition. Pick your favourite flowers and make your own fashion garden.
