RHS x Constantine Rex

When we were approached by Vesper of Constantine Rex to commission a piece for the Royal Horticulture Society show at Badmington house, we jumped at the opportunity. The brief was a pastel coloured garden, which led to us sourcing this incredible blush rose silk. The original design was a rose shaped dress. Once we draped it on the stand, we left it there to ponder on where to take it as it felt like something was missing. When we came in the next morning with fresh eyes, we developed, played and then pulled florals out of the cupboard. Ending up creating not one rose, but a whole garden of flowers and pearls, with a touch on anarchy. Like all gardens, you can't pull on the roots, you just have to wait for it go grow naturally.
