With a basket full of flowers after a trip to New Covent Garden Flower Market, I was ready to start on the dried flower wall installation for Selfridges.
Once I returned from the flower market, I unpacked and divided flowers up into small bunches, I tied string around the stems and left them hanging to dry.
Two weeks later..
I untied all the bunches and cut down the stems and removed any leaves that I didn’t want.
I then started making little bouquets. I made sure to pay attention to height and shape by arranging taller stems near the top and back. I filled in the gaps with smaller blooms.
The display was used for Simone Rocha’s pop-up at Selfridges. The dried flowers worked perfectly for Simone Rocha’s SS17 collection.
I hope you enjoy the dried flower wall install as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

The collection was perfectly presented in sections dictated by colour scheme. Black looks came out first, followed by white, red, blue, then pink and blue before finishing again with black. The diverse collection was classically Versus, with artistic elements added into every look. The pink and blue coloured fur was a huge juxtaposition with the classic black dresses, ensuring that there was bursts of bright colours to stand out against the monochrome offerings. Other standouts included the red-leather mini-skirts and Versus chokers.
