A bevy of watercolor floral patterns and prints burst onto fashion designers' runways in full force last spring, and continued to make a strong showing during Fashion Week for the fall 2010 season. Amid bold fashion looks like color-blocking, tribal prints, splatters, swirls and graffiti, romantic watercolor floral designs held their own. The botanicals, inspired by painterly palettes right out of Giverny, look fresh in rich hues and modern silhouettes. Despite chilly temps, watercolor floral fashions work right through winter.
The fashion trend is clearly catching on: on eBay, listings for the term "watercolor florals" in the Clothing, Shoes and Accessories category are up 71 percent in the past 30 days vs. approximately one year ago, and sales have more than doubled in the same period.
