The Great Escape Tropical Prints and bright colour pairings took over the spring 2020 runway shows. From Marni’s optical blooms, Dolce & Gabbana’s striking palm leaf prints to Versace’s iconic jungle-print dress (worn for a second time by Jennifer Lopez). Exotic flora appeared on everything from evening gowns, suits to the ubiquitous Hawaiian shirt.
