Floral Media - Dior Tokyo 2017 - The Show Video

This week on 'Floral Media' - I'm featuring a short video showing a Dior fashion show that took place in Tokyo - a couple of days ago. You might ask - what does fashion have to do with flowers? Well, watch and enjoy!

I'm always fascinated when I see example of how much designers, artists and craftspeople are inspired and influenced by nature - and most of the time it's mainly flowers.

I have previously shown you videos of fashion shows where both the stage and the clothes has a floral concept.

Here and here.

Enjoy your flower arranging and have a fabulous and floral Monday!

Thank you for visiting 'Of Spring and Summer' - I will be back later in the week with more floral delights.

I'm looking forward to seeing you back here then.

Floral Media - Say It With Flowers - Dries van Noten

This week on Floral Media we are taking a look at the fashion designer Dries van Noten's latest fashion show in Paris. It's his S/S 2017 Ready-To Wear collection called Say It With Flowers.




Many of the clothes has flower prints as well as lots of contrast. He says: " We just started to chop up garments and throw flower prints on. Everything contrasting!"

The catwalk that the models walk down has large installations of frozen blocks of ice with "towers of flowers". They contain massive botanical arrangements - similar to the ones you might see in Dutch Old Masters paintings. Here the flowers are frozen in blocks of melting ice.

The installations are created by the Japanese floral artist and botanical sculptor Azuma Makoto. Here is a link to his website. It has some stunning close-ups of the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this video with some rather unusual flower arrangements used in a very creative way.

Thank you for visiting 'Of Spring and Summer - I will be back on Wednesday with some more floral delights. Hope to see you then.
