If you’ve known me for any amount of time you know that I love my garden. I buy plants, plant seeds and give homes to others who have outgrown their original homes. It’s lots of fun, totally rewarding and gives me tons of inspiration. 

Now I’m having so much fun taking photos of the different flowers in my garden and pairing them up with a designer creation that’s like a reflection of the colour and texture. It’s been really fun to see how nature is such an inspiration to fashion design and how it can connect with my little corner of the world … my garden.

Love the petal effect of the fabric and the play of light and shadow.

Not only is the eyewear perfect but I love all the variation of unexpected colours combining together to make something quite exotic.

The ruffles … the ombré effect of colours almost melting together … swoon! She absolutely looks like a flower walking down the runway.

I love the vibrant yellow and abundant ruffles and textures. It’s so joyful! 

This rose bloomed the same day that this collection was presented in Italy. The extraordinary volume of layers upon layers of ruffles in this gown are identical to the dense petals of the rose. So romantic!
