Back in the 14th century, Britain started to import colourful and captivating floral prints from the East. They quickly gained popularity and were soon considered a status symbol because of how highly they were priced. The European market quickly picked on this trend. Before one knew it, the Italians started producing some highly embroidered florals.
With the abundance of flowers and its species around us, there is never an end to a designer’s creativity. Every designer’s favourite, inspiration for floral prints is around every corner.
Traditionally, flowers have been symbolic to both springtime and femininity. Initially used by perfume and fashion houses, floral prints were represented in graphics and imagery with such delicacy that made them fit for ladylike style and elegance. In today’s world, contemporary creatives are doing away with the delicacy of these prints and are revising the “pretty” reputation of floral prints to make them seem more neutral, playful and fun.
A symbol of freshness and beauty, floral hues have a way of making one feel full of life. Now be it fabrics or be it stationary, florals add their own little charm to whatever they touch.
