Floral trend: 3D flowers are currently taking over the fashion (world)

From fabric rosettes and plastic sculptures to fresh flowers - clothes are literally blossoming at the moment. Why the hype has turned into a trend that will continue to blossom for a while yet.
Floral prints have long been an integral part of fashion. Now flowers are increasingly appearing in three-dimensional versions. The trend has been apparent since last year's shows for the current year's collections. Classic fabric rosette appliqués could be seen at Dries van Noten and Carolina Herrera, for example, even in combination with traditional floral prints. At Elie Saab, lavish artificial flower necklaces adorned the necks of the models, at Armani Privé, rhinestone-studded orchids sparkled and Loewe's show was all about the anthurium.

The floral trend is also omnipresent on social media. On Tiktok, you can find numerous tutorials for DIY fabric rosettes or floral sandals and on Instagram, it feels like every second influencer has tied a floral choker around their neck.
When a trend is so prominent, everyone usually gets sick of it in no time at all. So will the floral spectacle soon be passé again?
Creative designs keep the trend going
The fashion weeks that have just taken place for spring 24 have shown that three-dimensional flowers will keep us busy for a while yet - without boring us. The trend continues to develop and creative flower interpretations continue to provide variety. Marni, for example, staged prints of individual flowers to create a kind of paper collage in the shape of a dress. Balmain created flowers from materials such as patent leather, latex and recycled plastic bottles and turned them into elaborate pieces, such as a bright red, shiny maxi coat. Simone Rocha even incorporated fresh roses into her tulle designs - in both her womenswear and menswear looks. Prada and Aknvas also made it clear that floral appliqués are also a topic in menswear.

On the catwalks, floral designs create theatrical moments, but they can also be incorporated more discreetly into everyday life. Blouses and tops with rosette appliqués at the neck or on the straps, for example, provide everyday glamour. A floral choker can also transform a simple outfit into an evening look. Combine it with a simple bandeau top, an unbuttoned blouse or a blazer. The trend can be incorporated even more subtly with metal jewellery. Necklaces with flower pendants or flower-shaped earrings - from small to large - add a sophisticated finishing touch to your look without taking centre stage.
