MILL 1 Event Space in Holyoke, MA
House of Flora celebrates the seamless integration of nature’s most exquisite forms with high fashion, where nature-based designers create living, breathing works of art that transcend traditional fashion.
VISION: Drawing inspiration from tea houses, imagine yourself in an indoor garden landscape, settling in with an herbal tea, with moss underfoot leading to a pathway where the runway experience will unfold. Models step out wearing clothing crafted entirely from natural materials—earrings made from sweet peas, a corset of banana leaves, a necklace strung with pea pearls, and a headpiece created from tulips, just to give examples... We’ll enjoy tea in the garden as we watch models adorned in botanical wear walk through the indoor garden, accompanied by live music throughout the runway show.
This event is a celebration of the interconnectedness of all living things, showcasing the brilliance of flowers, plants, and greenery as both an expression of beauty and an innovative approach to design.
TELL ME MORE!
The concept explores how plants, flowers, and organic materials—at their most natural state—can be woven into the very fabric of fashion. The narrative of the show unfolds as a metaphor for the cycles of life: growth, decay, and rebirth, celebrating nature's resilience and its vital role in inspiring both art and sustainability.
We’ll gather with herbal tea, collectively tasting the components of the garden while observing otherworldly botanical beings walking along a garden path crafted by a team of artists.
After the runway show, guests will dance to live music, enjoy interactive art performances throughout the night, and have access to a botanical bar. A professional photographer will also be on-site to capture all the special moments.
