Vintage Inspirations: Night Blooms
How does your night garden grow? With vintage dark floral prints! This season Balenciaga, Dolce and Gabbana, Saint Laurent, and Valentino put the petal to metal with flowers blossoming on deep backgrounds. These are no garden variety prints—let us take you to the dark side in floral prints of all scales with the twist of twilight!
