Floral Media - Azuma Makoto's Flowers in Ice

This week on 'Floral Media' I'm featuring Azuma Makoto who is a flower artist and botanical sculptor. This is a short video how Azuma creates his floral sculptures.

If you remember I have shown his work previously on 'Of Spring and Summer'. In 2016 he created very large ice sculptures with frozen flowers for the fashion designer Dries van Noten's fashion show in Paris. It was the S/S 2017 Ready-To Wear collection called Say It With Flowers. Here is the link.

Azuma Makoto is also the owner of the flower shop Jardin des Fleurs in Tokyo, Japan.

I hope you enjoyed the video with these strange but stunning floral sculptures.

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

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.
