We're currently in the middle of winter, and although it's 70° and sunny in LA, there's snow on the ground everywhere else. In these winter months, I look to the garden for inspiration. Flowers are always a cheerful pick-me-up.
There's something romantic about a garden. The colors, the textures, the smells.
With spring just around the corner, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite ways that flowers have been incorporated into art, fashion, and home decor.
I'm a huge Andy Warhol fan, and love his series titled "Happy Flower Gathering Days."
The man was brilliant.
My favorite flowers are tulips. All colors. There's just something so sweet and happy about them.
The new pinkish-coral shade that Carina created called "Lip Lock" really reminds me of the delicate beauty of these tulips
This garden of white tulips that seemingly goes on forever brings a smile to my face.
I have these beautiful vintage Gucci drinking glasses that are painted with flowers, and I love using them when I throw special dinner parties.
It comes as no surprise that the great design houses used floral motifs in their spring collections, but the spring 2010 RTW collection of Japanese designer Tsumori Chisato really caught my eye, for her subtle use of the garden theme in her inspired runway looks.
These are my three favorite looks from the collection:
From the vibrant colors to the beautiful silhouettes, these dresses instantly transport me to into a lush imaginary garden.
I'm also drooling over the above ensembles - the vivid artistic patterns and tiny fanciful flowers work together in perfect harmony.
Tsumori also tapped into one of my favorite ways to mix and match floral prints... with stripes. I am always a fan of a good stripe, and love the combination of florals and stripes, so fresh.
Try pairing Rachel Roy's Jacquard Racer Back Tank with Alice + Olivia's Striped High Waist Skirt, or why not throw on an oversized men's t-shirt, like Bruuns Bazaar Stripe T-Shirt with a pretty party skirt, like Diane von Furstenberg's Kawa Sequin Skirt?
I was flipping through the new issue of Harper's Bazaar (with Kate the Great on the cover) and was so into this Dior Spring 2010 floral and lace dress I scanned it so I could show you! Soo good.
In keeping with the floral theme, look at that gorgeous bouquet behind Carmen!
I just got these Louis Vuitton Resort 2010 heels that are adorned with black roses, kind of a dark garden look. Can't wait to wear them... it'll be like I'm walking through my very own secret garden.
FUN TASK:
If you could grow couture clothing in your own secret style garden, what kinds of creations would you plant and wait to blossom?
For my favorites I want to send a bouquet of my favorite flowers, tulips, with a personalized LOVE TAYLOR note from me!
'Til next time,
Love, Taylor

I love Warhol too. Edie Sedgwick had such a fabulous style, she was one of the few her influenced that whole 60s mod look.
Nicole Richie's Winter Kate collection has a bunch of gorgeous floral dresses and tunics, very 70s. You might like some of it.

My couture line would begin with these three piecies:
1. A fitted, white blazer with satin jacquard lining of bright floral patterns. Perfect for wearing with dark denim, skinny jeans or over a bold, solid summer dress to rock it out, ending with chunky, strappy gladiator shoes with a conical heel.
2. A floral chiffon and lace dress similar to the vivid colours of the Dior 2010 Spring lace dress you mentioned above, Taylor! Royal purples, dark pinks, and hints of blue coming together in a lovely floral pattern. However, my design would be asymmetrical with a one-shoulder piece and lots of draping, ending with a pair of cute black, suede booties.
3. A long, flowy gown made of sheer, jade green fabric to keep it fresh and pretty for Spring. The piece would be special because of the detailing layer that involved a soft motif of cherry blossoms. For shoes, a pair of simple open sandals with thin light green straps.
And... this just came to mind. My collection would not be complete without outfit #4.. plain white silk cami with linen, white cuffed shorts and a light yellow bolero, with hand-stitched floral detailing along the lapelles and down the front.

I would grow some kind of hybrid tree... not only would there be grapefruits and pomegranates that sweeten on the limbs... an outfit would appear once a day after the beautiful "clothing" flowers have bloomed and started to fruit. It would step outside each morning to see what has developed and wear the outfit while drinking my morning cup of fresh squeezed fruit

I feel that the beauty of flowers- the ones that grow in the wild- is being taken for granted.
when the spring will come upon me- i will be carrying bouqets of daisies to my loved ones..
ah how i long for spring.

if i could grow a couture garden i would defiantly want to grow, accessories and handbags. you can have the most beautiful clothing but if you dont have these things the outift is not complete. i really dont think any outfit is complete without the right accessories and purse. i love fusicas and pastel colors alot right now espeically since we are buried in snow and it seems to bring a sense of hope that spring will actually come.
i think i would want plant cuffs and rings to watch grow because those are my favorite and as far as purses go i love totes and satchels so those would be the purses i would plant

Ohhhhhhhhh most definitely a perfume tree! I'm obsessed with perfumes and smelly good things and love to have one to match every mood and every outfit. Smell is THE strongest and most lasting of the senses so its best to make an amazing impact that lives on indefinitely. This is totally why I just purchased my very first bottle of Miss Marisa. I can't give it a test smell in advance since I can only order online, so the recommendation of Miss Taylor will have to do...for some reason I have a feeling this is a no-risk situation. Can't wait to smell and wear my new fave perfume! And if I ever could figure out how to grow it on a tree...oh believe me I would do it! Thanks Taylor for all your awesome bits of fashion/style info! Love it! xoxo

The tree will just know what I currently want and need that day. If I'm going to a party, the tree will give a perfect accessory that will just be an instant conversation starter. For a day in the beach, an interesting coverup will be sprouting from the tree. If the sell seeds of this kind of tree. I will definitely be buying it!

Hi Taylor,
If only it were that cheap and easy to plant the seeds to your favorite couture pieces! I would LOVE the dichotomy between a garden of "hard" or "edgy" clothing and accessories amongst the softness of florals like hydrangeas or peonies.
My absolute all time favorite designer is Azzedine Alaia. How I would die to have a secret garden full of his pieces! When I was a kid I used to go the Alaia store that used to be on Rodeo Drive (sadly it's not there anymore, it was called Alaia Chez Gallay) and dream of having everything in that store.
Today I dream of having these pieces in my closet:
Looking forward to next week!

Hi Taylor, Hi Everyone,
I have to say that this is a very FUN and full of IMAGINATION and WISHES. And I am having fun already just ready those stories that our members wrote.
So, what would I grow??? Can we plant the same tree and flowers ^_^ with others.
Umm, have to think first what and who I like!!!. Well I like BURBERRY bags, more in classic and knight print but not really into those Blue label that own by Japanese. What else, My best friend love LV, maybe I can glow some. Or I should grow the top 10 world designers clothes like Valentino Garavani, Tom Ford (Gucci), John Galliano (Dior, Givenchy), Donatella Versace (Versace), Ralph Lauren, Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Chloe Karl Lagerfeld (COCO CHANEL), I am not sure I get these rights. As I do not know much about fashion and celebrities’s world. I just find from google. But I would love to know more about fashion. So I should stick around here I guess then I might rub off from Taylor a tiny bit.
And then again I am not sure that its will worth it if I grow these because I am not really a fashionable person. I would like to be but I do not think I got the look ^_^ just plain yellow Asian girl. So I think I will be better of with Jeans, regular clothes that will support me and I will bring the beauty out of them.
Enough of mumble around, I would grow a tree that give flowers as clothes, shoes, bags, accessories in season, like if its winter the tree will give winter outfits and accessories, same as other season summer, spring, autumn. Yes I would love a tree like that. The tree work for me and be my stylish, as I am not good at this. Amend. ^_^
Thanks for reading,
Nion

It is an easy decision for me...a jewelry tree! The problem is I am all about HEAVY jewelry. Whether it be a BIG ring, a long necklace, or a bling-y bracelet. I sadly do not know how long my jewelry tree would live though if it was producing the heavy jewelry I love. It would probably grow one chunky cocktail ring and bend in half like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

I would love a tall gorgeous Jeans tree. All different shades of blue with so many different styles (I would love to have some designer jeans!!!!!!) The magic part (well of course having a tree bear jeans as fruit would be pretty magical...but lets just say it was possible) would be that each pair of jeans would fit me perfectly! I would always look my best and never have to worry about washing my jeans because I could just walk to my back yard and pull off a pair to perfectly compliment the rest of my outfit. Plus I don't have very many jeans.
Oh, and of course there would be NO birds allowed in my tree. I don't want any nests in pant legs or droppings on my designer jeans! lol

I would love a jacket tree. One that has jackets that are both incredible warm and very fashionable. I always have a hard time finding cute yet fashionable jackets as I like to spen a lot of time outdoors.

I would love to grow a top bush and a skirt bush. I love wearing skirts, they are my favorite! I would grow different bushes for different colors and just like how every flower is different every shirt would be different. But I would have to have different bushes for the different colors.

My secret garden
written by ArantSavant, February 18, 2010
written by ArantSavant, February 18, 2010
My style garden would be a seasonal garden. In the winter, I would have a mix of Rodarte knits and Balmain. In spring, I would grow Lanvin cocktail dresses and Stella McCartney jumpers. Summertime, uber sexy Versace gowns and Dries Van Noten prints would flourish. Finally, fall would bring Ralph Lauren Americana and Chanel tweed suits with accessories. Sounds like heaven to me.

sha la la la shoes

written by phuong to the thai, February 18, 2010
hands down, shoes. i have really awkward feet cause they're small but wide and its so damn hard finding shoes that fit well.... so if i could have a garden, id want a million different shoes in a million different colors. i feel like my style in terms of clothing is always changing but shoes?! they just become more comfortable with time and earn little spots in my closet... most of the time i just horde or donate old clothing, but for the most part all my shoes have their positions in my day-to-day life and so i cherish them all! ...whether its my "comfy clubbing shoes" or my "go-to flats." from sneakers to pumps... i just want shoes. haha every girl needs her shoes!

The Louboutin Tree

written by wishbone, February 19, 2010
I would plant a giant Louboutin Tree in my garden, and every season it would ripen with all the new collection so I could "harvest" them every season...
BTW have you been to the Louboutin site- too fun- With a counter to the next collection- yep, only 114 days before it's harvest time again LOL
In a perfect world, I could have my Louboutin Tree....

I would grow a makeup garden.....It could have the most beautiful colors and shapes 
I would have tulips that blossomed into nail polish, lilies that were eyeshadows, roses that turned into lipsticks......mascara stems. I could have beautiful fuschia flowers that dripped blushes! we could even throw in the brushes at stems........
Every outfit would never be complete without the makeup. You can have a beautiful outfit and lovely accessories but without the right makeup.....you are lost

Absolutely love the idea of growing shoes!
I like the idea of growing an accessories garden, like others have said. Accessories are good at pulling together an outfit and adding a punch of color or pizzazz to your look. I know I'm not good at accessorizing my outfits but having a secret garden that grows coordinated accessories would make easy for me to do it. I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but I would also like my little accessories garden to feature hair accessories too! I always feel like my hair needs a little something and hair accessories are a good way to be creative. My plants could blossom floral pins to fun feathery combs to something simple, glam, glittery or chic.

Garden of Couture
written by peacelovegap, February 21, 2010
written by peacelovegap, February 21, 2010
If I were to grow couture in a garden, I think I'd protect that garden with my life.
There'd be alternating bushes of blazers and floral dresses. In front of the bushes I'd have an array of accessories of all sizes and shapes. From very large hand bangs with all sorts of studs and latches on them to big bold jewelry like cuffs and chunky necklaces, there'd be everything. All sorts of leggings; liquid, sheer, knee high, netted, black, blue, gray, etc. Surrounding these accessories would be v-necks of every color and design. A v-neck can be paired with almost anything these days! At the center of the garden would be a large try with scarves, cardigans, and shoes all hanging from it.

Planting Pucci-

Taylor,
I'm loving those glasses! The illustrative style of those flowers are just gorgeous. They must bring a smile to your face every time you use them. How fun!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for my dream fashion gardening... I think it would be fabulous to have a tree draped in Pucci fabric.
I have a large Weeping Willow in my back yard, and I'm thinking how great it would be to look out my kitchen window and see all of those beautiful, bright patterns and florals hanging replacing it's leafless drooping branches.
I would never be short of inspiration seeing that little miracle in my back yard!
Of course it wouldn't be so bad having access to some gorgeous flowing scarves to brighten up an outfit either.
Emilio would be my master gardener

Shoes of course! During the summer the colors would be vibrant and spring-y (to go with the new "nude/beige/light pink" trend we're about to see) and in winter they would be bright white and dark blues. Every season would be something different. Dreaming...

(okay so I drew this the other day when I read the blog post.)
Unfortunately I didn't have any time to color it. So when you look at the picture of the flower just picture the shades of pink all over the dress. My garden would feel very light and clean like the feeling of cotton candy sort of thing. Colors would be very shades of pink, purple, blues, yellows, but not to dark though and of course white.

I would want my garden filled with all of the amazing, avant-garde creations designed by the late Alexander McQueen. The flower bed would start bare, as most people associated with the fashion world feel now after his recent loss. However, overtime the flowers of calla lilies (my favorite flower), white tulips, white roses, baby's breath and peonies would flourish and prosper, overtaking the once dark area. Each representing a different aspect, but still meshing together.

It was so nice to see those tulips this morning. Our weather here just turned from unseasonably warm back to rainy and cold.
Oh well, time for cocoa and reading inside!
I love those Gucci glasses Carina!
