The London College of Garden Design’s Autumn Conference
Course Date: 09/10/2021
The London College of Garden Design’s Autumn Conference
From the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in-person and online on Saturday 9th October 2021
For centuries plants and gardens have clearly been influential on fashion sensibility. The fashion industry’s most lauded designers from Hardy Amies, Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior to Dries Van Noten, Vivienne Westwood and Raf Simons are known for recurrent themes around flora and gardens and the influence of their own gardens on their work. But does it work both ways? Are garden designers influenced by fashion professionals?
For our 2021 Autumn Conference the London College of Garden Design explores the influence of plants, gardens and landscapes on fashion and the favour that fashion returns to our work as gardeners, horticulturists and designers. Join us on Saturday 9th October 2021 for a day focussed on the relationship between gardens and fashion.
