The tropical-nouveau wonder (bottom left) was created to
accompany a solo exhibition of new work by Japanese pop-
artist Mr., entitled "Beyond the Alley, There … ," at the prestigious
Lehmann Maupin gallery in London. Floral designer Eriko Nagata
used the language of fl owers to interpret the bold paintings and
sculptures featured in the show, melding the boldness of Heliconia,
Anthurium and Gerbera with the softness of peach blossoms,
Ranunculus, Phalaenopsis orchids and Amaranthus, resulting in
an effect that had everyone talking. Nagata is a Japanese-born
fl oral designer currently working in New York City. Guided by the
principles of ikebana, her work has been featured in numerous
publications and appeared in collaboration with top luxury brands
including Tiffany & Co. and Dior.

mind, from spooky black glitter to blood-red roses. In the design
below, Dubai based boutique fl orist Goshá Studio completely
reimagined and redefi ned what Halloween arrangements
could be. Taking notes from the modern architecture of the
UAE and fusing it with the soft touch of tropical nouveau,
this autumn composition got you talking with its speckled
orchids, otherworldly Heliconia and dramatic Anthurium
anchored by creamy white pumpkins and lifted by a
spray of white ball Dahlia in an unglazed bowl.
