Take a more simplified approach to your Fall floral designs, as seen here with these stylized Art Nouveau inspired motifs. One delicately detailed flower is repeated throughout the design in a simple, yet compact, layout, which keeps the eyes moving but doesn’t overwhelm the viewer. We actually see it as a subset of a larger Fall 2015 trend rooted in Interior Design, which we’ll explore further a little later on in our review of Fall collections.

Today we present an extremely relatable trend seen everywhere from retail to the runway: daisies. Whether photographic, painted, digitally warped or presented atop an abstract texture, designers are finding fresh ways to serve up this classic vintage flower. For more examples of how runway designers are interpreting this trend, be sure to check out resort collections from Alice + Olivia and Nina Ricci in addition to the designers shown here.

A round up of our favorite prints in the most publicized color of the year: Tangerine Tango. It’s not a bad representation of the season’s top print trends, either… from florals, plaids, and paisleys all the way to Hieronymous Bosch!

Stripes, stripes and more stripes. This is what we’re seeing in so many of the Spring ’12 collections. It’s incredibly hard to pick a favorite, but I’m particularly smitten with the pants by Tommy Hilfiger.  Do you think these looks are too much, or can you already see them in your closet?
