A Floral Affair by Bas Kosters
Fashion designer Bas Kosters has presented the 15 most beautiful flowers of the season, with an equal number of male models who showcased the selection adorned with floral prints and outfits made of real flowers. ‘A Floral Affair’ is the official launch of the Lievelingsbloem (aka favourite flower) campaign during which friends are quizzed to find out if they know each other’s favourite flower. For the occasion, they were allowed to pick flowers from the bodies of the models. Bas Kosters, known for his figurative and copious designs, was commissioned to make a collection based on the 15 favourite flowers of the season. The result is an eclectic, colourful mix of flowers, a unique floral prints made for the project, and distinct shapes. The master florists of The Wunderkammer were asked to make a literal living garden from which the flowers could be picked by the audience.
