continue to be a leitmotif/a recurring theme

if you don't want to use leitmotif you could say

continues to be a recurring theme

Where did the seed of this trend lie? Is it a one-off event or are flowers a recurring theme? Are trends cyclical, less persistent than we thought?

The Canadian designer Erdem Moralioglu has picked them as a recurring theme in six of his last collections, and though it might seem impossible, has not bored us yet.

floral theme is echoed in the embroidery

It would help if you gave more context. I am guessing that the fabric is floral and the embroidery is too; I would avoid an overly-literal translation of "confirm", I think it's a bit clunky.

Alternatively "The floral theme is picked up in the embroidery".

My take, anyway. Buon lavoro a tutti!
