Orchids as Muse: Flowers and Fashion Mix Inside the NY Botanical Garden's Conservatory
Pamela Hassell READ TIME: 10 MIN.
Flwr Pstl's mannequins have a '60s vibe with colored sunglasses, vibrant colors and iridescent, painted anthurium plants as accessories. Others have a more refined beauty, with one mannequin draped in preserved, orange-painted orchids with a water-lily, hoop-skirt fountain.
The last gallery showcases Collina Strada's floral fashion using upcycled materials. Creations include an elegant, strapless dress of miniature moth orchids.
Orchids have inspired artists for centuries, and this show encourages you to immerse yourself in their splendor.
The exhibition runs through April 21.
