Roses abound for Spring/Summer 2022. Large bright red roses were splashed on both white
and black pantsuits at Saint Laurent, while paler pink roses were painted on dresses with
bridal-like trains at Giambattista Valli. Peter Do opted for painted roses on otherwise neutral
fabrics, mostly in oversized jackets. Rosy patterns also seemed hand-painted on sheer pinks at
Blumarine with very feminine and irty silhouettes.
e darker reds are perfectly accessorized with Sardinian Coral, while the paler pinks work
best with Angel Skin Coral. e uniformity of color in a precious coral strand keeps the
overall look sophisticated and re ned, while maintaining the focus on nature. Small rose
print patterns pair well with Akoya pearls, their well-known luster o ering subtle feminine
undertones of pink and their smaller sizes complimenting the diminutive roses. For bolder
and larger oral patterns, opt for larger pearls and bigger coral beads.
