Floral for spring, for men? Groundbreaking. A trend that even the house of Givenchy and Valentino gave nods to – an homage to 1950’s counterculture of inspiration for heady, exotic prints of flowers and foliage. Brooding, bohemian and a little unorthodox – these pieces are perfectly pitched for those who like to bend the rules to their liking.
