FLOWER VALENTINE: Spring's Flourishing Fashion
“...like a Flower”—The phrase “a person with presence,” like “like a flower,” is a universally cherished compliment for girls. This year’s trends further enhance that floral beauty in women.
While “flowers” are a perennial spring theme, everyone agrees that this spring’s fashion world is particularly special. It’s a true riot of color, as if countless flowers are in full bloom.

Flowers: As Many Interpretations as Designers
Furthermore, this season offers not just one trend, but romantic flowers, botanical flowers, tropical flowers, graphical flowers, and intense flowers.—There are as many interpretations as there are designers, with flowers expressed in various tastes. The Spring/Summer collections feature spaces with flowers as their concept, creating an atmosphere akin to a flower garden or paradise.
Flowers are a symbol of peace. Perhaps this is a message to pause from our opaque and uncertain modern reality, to appreciate flowers, and to turn our attention to nature.
Workshop-Style Valentine's Lessons Held!
And then, “FLOWER VALENTINE”—On February 14th (Friday), we are launching a preserved flower gift perfect for "Flower Valentine," expressing feelings through flowers.The online shop "rumors"has released new products.
The popular cup and saucer from "Franc Franc" comes in two types: polka dot and stripe. Adorable red and pink roses, pinecones, and an abundance of raspberries deliver a juicy, fresh message to the heart.
While gifts of fresh flowers are special, creating and giving one with your own hands is even more so. This year, our school is planning its first-ever Valentine's lesson in a workshop format, open to beginners.
These will be held on February 12th (Wednesday) and 13th (Thursday), with sessions at 1:30 PM and 6:00 PM on both days, for a total of four sessions.
New Flower Studio Opens in Omotesando
FLORALUXE also proposes a "lifestyle with flowers." We have newly opened a flower studio and school in Omotesando. This space, available for rental for photoshoots and small events, will also be a hub for flower-related information and events. You can also purchase rare flowers and succulents selected by Masami Wake. Lessons held on weekday evenings and Saturdays offer a place for refreshment after work.
