The flower is an original muse. It’s inspired some of the greatest works of art, design, and jewelry for centuries. And it’s been updated over the years to remain a fresh, relevant player in a variety of avenues. It’s the traditional symbol of femininity and grace playing with the delicate balance of subtle and statement for a long time.

But, I guess that’s why florals make their presence known year after year on the runways, red carpets, and regular day to day wear. From lace designs to pantsuit prints to sequined evening gowns, flowers have graced them all. They’ve even evolved through the seasons making them a staple for spring, summer, fall, and winter.

A favorite example of mine for pure floral elegance was Elle Fanning in Dolce and Gabbana at a June movie premier. The dress design was just fabulous. This sequin beauty had the lovely flow of leaves accenting various colored blooms and blossoms. It had every element needed for a great floral fashion design.  And more recently, at the 68^th Annual Emmy Awards big stars like Kristin Bell, Sarah Hyland, and Maisie Williams rocked flowery frocks on the red carpet.

A glance at the botanical styles below proves the pattern will never go out of style . . . or season.
