Defiant Florals

>> If flowers could speak, some of the ones from the past, current and forthcoming seasons' collections are saying "I don't want to be described as ditzy. I'm not going to cower into a mass of pattern and print where you can't tell one flower from the other. My petals will be defianty bold and my colours are anything but wishy washy so much so that my exact species can be identified without having to resort to calling us a generic 'floral' pattern. If I along with other flowers repeat myself then so be it because that way you'll have more of a chance of remembering the exacting pattern that almost certainly evokes William Morris. Even if I along with my peers, collectively resemble wallpaper, we're not the sort to grace wallflowers that blend into the background."

These bold blooms are growing and intertwining with help of Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2011-12, Stella McCartney Resort 2011 (a lot of it now on MyTheresa), my Manoush coat and Crockett & Jones slippers, the new selection of Liberty fabrics, Undercover's A/W 00-01 pieces at the Barbican and of course William Morris' Thames-inspired prints.
