Pretty Pastels – Jil Sander Fall 2012
Antwerp-based Belgian florist extraordinaire Mark Colle has been busy this year… especially when Raf Simons (who’s also Belgian) decides to have him create floral fantasies for not one, but two of his fashion shows.
Blooms in a Box
The first was for Raf’s last collection for Jil Sander back in March where beautiful blossoms were encased in glass boxes, seven in all, to mark the number of years he spent with the label.
Botanical Beauty
Mark then designed the fabulous floral rooms for Raf’s first couture collection under the Dior name that took the blogging and Twitter world by storm in early July.
Christian Dior – Couture 2012
Over a million fresh flowers were used to decorate a Parisian “hotel particulier” as a backdrop to a collection that paid homage to Mr. Dior’s “Flower Women” and passion for gardens.
Peonies, Dahlias, Carnations and Roses
It’s no wonder the audience was left breathless… even the video about the creation of the botanical bonanza is a sight to behold.
Orchids, Orchids and More Orchids
We’re torn as to which ravishing runway we like best… Which do you prefer - container gardens or wallflowers?
