A blooming collaboration between flower lovers

If you combine forces, you will flourish even more

Put two flower lovers from different areas together, and you have a blooming collaboration. Azuma Makoto and Dries van Noten collaborated on the presentation of Van Noten's new spring/summer collection. Spotted in edition #6 of The Green Gallery!

Botanical eruption

Dries van Noten's SS2017 collection contains surprising combinations, a rich colour palette of turquoise, copper and khaki, and a beautiful range of floral prints. And that was not the only reason why a collaboration with floral artist Azumo Makoto was not entirely unexpected. The two friends stole the show with the floral collection being presented past a long row of iced towers containing frozen flowers. A fascinating decor for the catwalk - a fabulous botanical eruption reminiscent of Dutch Old Masters.
