Currently Craving: Tropical Inspired

Designers have taken their inspiration from tropical havens for Spring/Summer 2012, splashing Hawaiian prints and palm tree embroideries on dresses, bikinis and a range of accessories for the season. Stella McCartney is one such designer, who derived inspiration from surfers and their tropical surroundings, creating striking prints and tree embroidered sweaters. Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci's flowers of paradise print is dramatic and bright, while Dries Van Noten's jungle leaves tote bag has a cooler, lying in the shade vibe. High Street stores have also embraced the notions of paradise, splashing floral prints on hot pants and postcard-esque ocean prints on sandals. Below are our top tropical finds.
