Butterfly Print Fashions Will Leave You Fluttering in Summer 2009

While stars seemed to be the design theme of 2008, butterflies promise to be the look for 2009. Badgley Mischka, Collette Dinnigan, Diane Von Furstenberg, Tibi and Koi Suwannagate all featured butterfly influences in their Spring/Summer 2009 collections, solidifying the look as an obvious trend for the coming months.

What’s great about the look is its femininity and the many ways the look was presented. Mischka and Dinnigan showed long gowns in the pattern, DVF and Dinnigan showed leg bearing designs, where Suwannagate and Tibi showed to-the-knee dresses.

With their beautiful colors and patterns, this look lets you imagine warm summer weather before it’s arrival.
