CAPSULE LARGE FLOWERS by SIXSOEURS

So I designed similar patterns by replacing the large tropical flowers, a little too "surfy" for my taste, by more classical flowers such as roses, freesias, statice etc..

​

Three florists kept coming back to my memory, the super trendy Debeaulieu, the dazzling Racine and my neighbourhood florist Ipoméa, whose shop is a sweet mix of outdated souvenirs and very current trends.

​

During a family week in Normandy, I also returned to a place that I cherished, the woods of Moutiers in Varengeville, the town of my childhood. A real English manor, surrounded by a superb English garden, designed by the very famous Miss Gertrude JEKYLL. Well, the name's a little scary, but it makes no mistake, the lady was extremely talented. It's a spectacle, century-old trees, small paths that take you between magnificent flower beds, which rise up on lovely bushes. And then lots and lots of Big Flowers.

Unfortunately for those who don’t know the park, it has just been purchased by the Seydoux family and is no longer open to the public since this fall.

​

Paradoxically, if the question of a capsule collection had never been considered until then, I was becoming really obsessed with Big Flowers, I needed a floral print for the upcoming collection. While I was working on the final lines of a print template, I did a review of my suppliers to make sure I didn't miss a marvel that would surpass what I had in mind. I saw it bicoloured, the flower had to be in the centre, no question of colours going in all directions...
