The 2023 VALENTINE’S DAY COLLECTION
The language of flowers
I recently read about the history of gifting flowers and how it became popular to assign meanings to specific colors. Reportedly, this has been traced back to the 17th century when the king of Sweden learned the “language of flowers” while traveling to Persia and brought it back to Europe. This tradition of pairing specific meanings with different varieties continues to thrive. The most common symbol, especially during Valentine’s Day, is the rose and its representation of love. But not only are there many colors of roses, but there are many nuances associated with even this one flower and its hue.
This concept stewed as I designed this year’s collection. I prefer to make bold and colorful pieces this time of year simply because nature isn’t providing much variety. It’s dark and cold, and the landscape is generally gray. Let’s brighten things up!
That said, I wanted to create new options that spoke to the sentiments you share with your loved ones on Valentine’s Day. Whether it be love, appreciation, passion, admiration, desire, or care, I also tapped into this spectrum for inspiration.
