The cover story spotlights a wardrobe of [botanical fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femininity-in-bloom) and is styled by Laura Pritchard who dresses model Chloe Vasseur. Highlighting designer pieces from the likes of Gucci, [Marc Jacobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection), Balenciaga and many more, In Full Bloom consists of pattern-clashing pieces that embody an opulent air. These range from impeccably tailored trench coats to overized bomber jackets. The editorial's botanical patterns also adorn its statement accessories including purses, headwear, and shoes.

Hair and makeup for the story is courtesy of Dawn Jacobson who opts for natural curls, paired with statement lips and brows.
