Full Bloom

FULL BLOOM

This mood is imbued with an awakening of florals with visions of unmatched charm. Bold vegetable colours are paired with positive bright shades, as only nature knows how. A sense of freshness is felt in the 'Toile de juoy' prints on cretonne, sparse bouquets, pointille techniques, madras, gingham checks, raw cloth with 'grassy' embroidery. Pollen-like flocking and wallpaper flowers on worn denim.Your surfaces must be budding with sequences of uneven raised motifs, shrinking on rustic gauze and silky voile, tight gathering, seersucker, smocking, big bubble embossing and radial micro pleats. There must be plenty of luxuriant visions and Zen expressions in mix and match arabesques in different layering, gold threaded voile, small stylized flower beds, Ikebana arrangement jacquards, bonsai tree clip spots, large screen printed hibiscus and sequined water lilies with dewy effects. Even the accessories should be inspired by nature with bindings in layered georgette petals, 3D inflorescence on tulle, micro sphere appliqués in ‘Magic India’ motifs, grassy grounds and enamelled flowers for flat buttons, micro pleats in organza and bouquet-like pins in shaded Plexiglas
