This year will mark the 21st annual Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden—and it’s expected to be a runway hit! Each year, the New York Botanical Garden showcases one of the world’s most fascinating flowers in a special Orchid Show that takes over and completely transforms the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. The Orchid Show: Florals in Fashion runs until April 21, 2024.
Designs from three visionaries will be highlighted in the show, including Collina Strada, a fashion platform that promotes climate and social awareness, by Hillary Taymour; Dauphinette, an upcycled fashion label that uses preserved botanicals and repurposed materials, by Olivia Cheng; and FLWR PSTL, the world’s first on-demand botanical art atelier, by Kristen Alpaugh.
The Orchid Show: Florals in Fashion will showcase each designer’s perspective on the connection between fashion and the botanical world, featuring colorful flowers and rare specimens from NYBG’s collections and beyond.
