The ‘Roses’ exhibition explores the fashion house’s ongoing love affair with the symbolism of flowers, with the red rose dress standing in a cluster of materials which document how its petal-like 3D form came to life, while the Sarabande dress once filled with fresh flowers, is featured alongside pieces which have flowers and petals trapped between layers of tulle or spilling from necklines and cuffs from the same spring/summer 2007 collection.
