As spring springs around us, we invariably feel drawn to nature. Whether we’re off to the countryside, spending more time at the park, hanging out in our gardens or just embracing various ivy-covered roof terraces, the need to be surrounded by flora is real. Another thing that spring brings with it is the Met Gala. We obsess over the who’s who of who’s that and new style icons are born on those iconic Met steps.
This year’s theme and accompanying exhibition is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, inspired by The Garden of Time by JG Ballard. To honour that, the show ‘will explore notions of rebirth and renewal, using nature as a metaphor for the impermanence of fashion.’ These notions are prevalent in nature, with the spring season a great example of new life blooming and blossoming. Inspired by Fashion’s biggest night we’re shining a spotlight on some of our favourite nature-inspired pieces that, in our humble opinion, are just as red-carpet-worthy.
