Runway Roundup | Florals on Dark Grounds

 Osman, McQ, Osman

Steven Alan, Manish Arora, Valentino

Osman, Lela Rose, Kenzo

Florals on dark backgrounds were a big trend on the Fall 12 runways, and the look took on lots of variety. From the glamourous opulence at Osman, to the sweet folkloric ditsy at Valentino.  McQ and Manish Aurora both had some beautiful cloth flowers appliqued on top of lace in the case of McQ, and what appears to be velvet at Manish Arora. Overall, a great Wintery update to the vintage floral look.
