Take the butterflies out of
your tummy and let them
flutter in your spring
wardrobe!
T
he '90s trend is taking over the fashion
industry. Everything old is new again. The ultra-
feminine print to dominate that era was the
butterflies. Well it’s either the 90s trend that
gave this trend flight or its predecessor: the
beetle that was a huge trend for almost 3 years
from the Gucci bags to insect prints. Sticking to
the insect trend, the butterfly could have
originated from there too, an insect more
closely associated to spring. Either way, it’s no
surprise to see butterflies as a top #ss19 trend. I
personally saw it first again by D&G but
research indicates a Japanese couturier Hanae
Mori showed her final collection in Paris during
her last-ever runway show in 2004. Her models
trailed down the runway veiled in beaded
butterfly patterns, thus leaving a strong and
loud “Mori did it first” in the fashion world. So
much so, the butterfly became her signature.
