Nature Inspires

I always say that as a designer your first influence should be nature. Animals in the wild, the way the trees sway in the wind, the unified movement of an ant colony and the flow of water are all good influences when designing. Now we see nature emerging in fashion this summer, on these Valentino bags with floral decorations. 

-side note-
Back in ancient Mesopotamia people used to create things for utilitarian purposes and decorate them with animal depictions and articles of nature. Are we really that different from them?
This bag is my favorite, I would definitely invest in this for someone special. Brown leather, huge floral decoration on the face of the bag, deep inside storage, you cant go wrong.
