A playful attitude emerges for spring, as florals are amplified with a big, bold intensity to catch the eye with vibrant colors and oversized proportions. This trend adds a striking statement to womenswear styles.

A must-have shape for S/S15, slips are executed with silky finishes or lightweight fabrications for drape. Slim spaghetti strap details remain key, while metallic finishes offer versatile day-to-evening styling options. Giles and Band of Outsiders were two of the initial designers to lead this trend on the runways.

First seen in collections by Peter Som and BCBG Max Azria, this trend has now been validated in retail. Key features include a waistline dropped to the hips and subtle gatherings on the seam, making for a modern take on the fit and flare classic. Jacquard fabrics help to hold structure.
