15 Times Flowers Floated Down the Runway
In honor of Mother Nature, we’ve rounded up a few of our all-time favorite fashion bouquets. These aren’t the type of blooms offered as congratulations at the end of a show, but full-on floral arrangements that walked down the runway.
Way before flowers became a seasonal trend on the catwalks, Magnoliophytae (the scientific name for a flowering plant), were placed in vases to liven up our lives. Today, these natural beauties are often woven into many elements of a fashion show, from the decor to the actual designs, creating drama all around. Whether a model is carrying fresh cuts down the runway in a tote, or turning into a lifesize bouquet of her own, flowers are undoubtedly the ultimate accessory.
From John Galliano’s elegant floral headdresses to Virgil Abloh’s fragrant harness for Louis Vuitton, check out 15 of our favorite floral-themed fits below.
