Even though it’s only resort season, spring has sprung. Delicate floral patterns appeared throughout the collections. Rosie Assoulin used flowers on elegant gowns, as seen here, and on crop tops, dresses and even a pair of overalls. CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Brock Collection has taken the industry by storm since its debut in 2014. Designed by husband-wife duo Kristopher Brock and Laura Vassar, the label channels the relaxed vibe of Los Angeles, where the company is based. Floral prints are a signature of the house, and this season, ladylike ruffles added to the romance.
