AW12 TREND ALERT: WINTER FLORALS

One of the most wearable trends we'll be seeing for AW12 is winter florals. British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman named 'winter florals' as her big trend for the upcoming season during her recent talk at the V&A; which of course, means this is a key trend for the season.

Forget summer's chintsy florals and tropical blooms and instead think of wild meadows and abstract botanicals in dark and edgy tones. Metallic finishes and luxe embellishment also update this trend for the new season.
