Oscar de la Renta Resort 2022
Maybe it’s spring fever, a pandemic-fueled appreciation for the smaller things…or just Instagram, but fashion is crazy for flowers.
Designer and domestic goddess Laura Kim, who has become a baby Martha Stewart on social media in recent months, grows edible flowers on her tiny apartment terrace. She wants to wear them, too: “After 14 months, I just want to look pretty again,” she said.
So, after the success she and codesigner Fernando Garcia have already seen with their fall 2021 3D flower-embroidered minidress (worn by Taylor Swift at the Grammys in March, it caused such an online sensation that it has spawned TikTok recreations) they decided to keep the flowerfest going.
For resort, they ticked the flower box and others.
Instagrammable floral print on silk faille cocktail dresses? This season’s has a surrealist mood, with a field of flowers in the style of Vogue contributing editor and landscape designer Miranda Brooks. Art reference? The bright palette was inspired by the limestone boulders of Ugo Rondinone, which they discovered on Nicky Hilton’s Instagram feed. Rainbow connection? It came in the form of a melange knit sweater, worn with great-looking salmon pink faille palazzo pants.
