“The rose is a symbol of femininity as well as love, so it’s not surprising that designers, such as the fantasist Christian Lacroix or the Proust-loving Yves Saint Laurent, have used this flower to conjure prettiness and romance. Others, like Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, are ever mindful that a rose has thorns and endow the motif with graphic “bite.” This bold bloom is a perennial favorite of the Italian duo, who have used rose prints straightforwardly on sexy body-skimming dresses with ’50s flair, and more subversively on men’s-inspired pieces like the winning pantsuit Zendaya wore on the first of May, at the Met Gala after-party.” -Text source: vogue.com
