Often dismissed as the most traditional of florals, rose print has re-emerged as fashion’s most dramatic calling card.
Forget ditsy garden motifs - this season’s roses are bold, baroque, and brimming with high-octane romance.
Designers are putting a rebellious spin on the bloom, using it as a symbol of rich intensity that simmers with seductive after-hours glamour.
At Roberto Cavalli, roses continue to roar across body-skimming silhouettes and sheer panels, lending a rock-chic edge to the house’s sensual staples. Blumarine, ever the patron saint of Y2K glamour, blooms are constantly blown up to maximalist scale and paired with backless butterfly tops, crystal belts, and low-rise jeans.
Dolce & Gabbana, meanwhile, stay true to their Sicilian roots, draping hourglass corsetry and satin slip dresses in deep red petals, echoing vintage Sophia Loren bombshells with a modern edge.

Simply put, the rose print revival is anything but ‘safe.’ These thorny florals tap into a femme fatale attitude - a fairy cry from the English rose elegance so commonly associated with the popular garden heroes.
