Description

This bold and graphic floral depicts the festival of adonis, the mortal lover of the goddess aphrodite in greek mythology every year at midsummer women would plant ?gardens of adonis’ with vases of fast-growing plants, to celebrate the beautiful young man’s life. The layout of the vase is loosely based on an archival liberty design, incorporating stylised plants such as anemones (a symbol of adonis), marigolds, petunias and peonies. The design’s undulating stalks create a sense of movement and dynamism. Garden of adonis is part of the earth story of our autumn/winter 2023 collection – a tribute to the earth’s bounty, these designs immerse us in the captivating details of the natural world. The design is printed by experts in italy onto our fluid, reflective 16 momme belgravia silk satin a fabric prized for its lustrous drape and fluidity, along with its luminously high-shine surface.
