Oriental influences creeped in on multiple collections across a range of garments varying from bombers , skirts , kimono-influenced jackets , windcheaters , robes , and even Chinese collared shirts .
Fabrics such as silk , satin and other luxe materials ornamented with lush embroidery or exquisite prints inspired by the Far East highlighted Chinese artistry and techniques .
Moody Florals
Anteprima Antonio Marras Badgley Mischka- Michael Kors Richard Quinn
For starters , florals can ’ t necessarily be labelled as the new-kid-on-the-block when it comes to prints , but what makes these stand out this season is the fact that this time around , florals venture out of their confined summery territory to exude femininity on to the darker side of the Fall / Winter season .
Designers and high fashion brands both are pulling out all the stops for head-to-toe looks by introducing bold , oversized florals in varying sizes in moodier tones as compared to their Spring / Summer counterparts , placed against a solid black background .
