Needless to say, we are thrilled to see that one of the most fashion-forward shows on television has embraced our “faux fleurs”. Christina used fresh flowers on set for the first three seasons but it became incredibly expensive and difficult to do so since they often shoot scenes on different days and out of order and the flowers would die.

“I struggled with the fake flower issue until I came across your pieces… what joy to find silks that look so real!” If Christina’s hip and modern aesthetic seems familiar, you may have caught some of her interiors in the trend setting series, Sex and the City. After all, every glamorous girl needs a fabulous flat to call her own!
XOXO
