A blossoming exhibition from floral show company, Fleurs de Villes, is celebrating remarkable women this October at The Shop in Hudson Yards. Titled Fleurs de Villes FEMMES, NYC’s top florists will come together to “spread joy through the beauty of fresh floral works of art” with stunning mannequins, shares the press release. Each mannequin will tower over 10 feet tall, and depict one of sixteen inspirational women.
“It is with great excitement that we return to Hudson Yards for the third time with our new show Fleurs de Villes FEMMES,” said Karen Marshall, Co-founder of Fleurs de Villes Inc. “Bringing to life 16 stunning floral couture mannequins, each an interpretation of significant women in history and culture, we know New Yorkers will enjoy this floral storytelling journey.”
