Everything’s coming up roses (and lilies, and daisies, and orchids…).
Michael Kors spring/summer 2019 look.
We know, we know—florals for spring? How novel. But for spring/summer 2019, designers took a new approach to the fashion favorite in the form of eye-catching color combinations and artistic outlines, perfect for power-clashing together or playing blossom buddies with solids.
For his spring/summer 2019 collection, Michael Kors took to the tropics with floral prints, described by the designer as “painterly,” in highlighter-bright neon hues. Make a statement by wearing the pieces head-to-toe for a bold monoprint look, or use elements to brighten an otherwise staid ensemble. MichaelKors.com
