London Fashion Week – Day 2: Printed and Floral Dresses
One of the biggest trends for SS12 is printed dresses. You might be thinking that every summer offers a printed dress, but next season is different – imagine any print you can, and you’ll find it somewhere in the collections of London Fashion Week designers. Floral? Ashish has done it with sunflowers and daisies – on the same dress. Stripes or checks? Head to Daks. Even cow prints were seen at House of Holland. How to wear them? For curvy or fuller figures, choose small prints , while larger prints work well on petite or athletic or figures. The thing to love about printed dresses is that they work for any occasion – printed wrap or shirt dresses are perfect for humid days in the office, while a silk printed maxi dress will take you seamlessly from day to night. Daks has done a navy and white stripe halter neck which is just the ticket for a week in the sun.
