When it comes to florals and fashion, the combination is most closely associated with spring and summer months, but it doesn't have to be.
As we approach fall, we need not look further than the ethereal beauty of blooms for inspiration—and don’t worry, we’re not talking about flower crowns here.
In the following fashion story, director Sam Shannon and photographer Kate Owen were inspired by what they call "eco-sexuality," namely, the way one can find nature romantic or sensual. “We’re pushing the idea that plant life in fashion is more than just a background element for beauty or props, and that it can play a more prominent role visually, as well as sexually,” they say. Think: flowers tucked into pants, bras, and pockets—or, yes, worn on the head (though without an ounce of festival vibes)—and, of course, printed florals. The result is fresh and modern, yet dreamy.
