The 'Ka-Bloom!' editorial in the Lucky Magazine April 2012 issue is a delightful ode to the sophisticated and powerful floral prints that are a huge spring/summer trend. The shoot focuses on tailored floral looks that ensure one does not get lost in heaps of boldly patterned material. Dresses, a suit and a skirt-and-top combination are all practical and eye-catching applications of the style.
Ka-Bloom! was captured by photographer David Oldham and styled by Eleanor Strauss, who chose to accessorize the loud prints with tough platforms, red sunglasses, similarly patterned clutches and striped garments, like a vertically striped sweater.
The Lucky Magazine April 2012 issue features The O.C. veteran and Hart of Dixie star Rachel Bilson on the cover.
