This is the last segment of a four part series featuring fall floral looks found on the 2008 Fall runway. Part one featured jewel toned floral dresses. Part two featured muddied or art-inspired floral dresses, and part three featured black and white floral dresses. This last part features the look of floral print on a white or black background.

In part two, I showcased similar art-inspired dresses from Dennis Basso and Erin Fetherston. Both designers also showcased a floor length floral number with a black backdrop! This first one is from Dennis Basso’s collection.

In Part I, I showed examples from the runway of Fall Floral looks that featured jewel tones. Part II features the fall floral look of “muddied” floral.  Muddied floral is exactly what it sounds like: floral that looks muddy. Muddied floral prints don’t have borders, the floral just runs into each other. This look may remind you of a watercolor painting of abstract flowers. Some print even has shades of brown that really give the appearance of muddied floral! Another variation of this look is busy, art-inspired floral.

The best example of muddied floral I could find is from the Jovovich-Hawk collection. It actually looks “muddy.” This is probably because it has a swampy green and brown palette.
