London-based model Riley Hillyer stars in a chic springtime shoot for the Harrods Magazine March 2012 issue that features cartoon-like [giant floral props](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent) and a delightful pastel-hued patterned palette. The 'Flower Show' is a part of the iconic English retailer's March edition of its in-house publication, showcasing the luxury goods and garments. The editorial-style catalog shoot features several delicately sequined and polka-dotted fresh frocks.

Riley Hillyer was captured by the lens of fashion photographer Jason Ell for the 'Flower Show' shoot, which makes great use of the season's trends of [pattern mixing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025) and combination of off-white neutrals and pastel-hued embellished details. The shoot was styled by fashion editor Sarah Webb, who chose some of Harrod's most delightful spring looks for the publication.
