Flowers in Fashion

I have always loved taking a natural inspiration for projects (as you can see from past posts) and I particularly like how flower forms inspire the fashion designer. Many designers can create beautiful silhouettes and colour palette's from the simplest of flowers, like the daisy for instance for Marc Jacobs. The examples above are from Junya Watanabe, a designer who loves to create in fabric manipulation and with texture and colour. It emulates if not exactly, petal forms and folds perfectly. I would absolutely love to experiment some more with fabric manipulations to become as great as Watanabe. I think my work would be just as inspiring if i took the same inventive imagination and figurative forms. The one image is of an unknown designer, and they have used a very clear idea by draping the fabrics very similarly, almost exactly as the flower from which it's inspiration has come. Intensely Inspiring, if I do say so myself :)
