    Flower Power: Flora in Fashion

Nature’s plant materials not only factor in the aesthetics of fashion and apparel, they literally are the very fabric used to make much of our clothing. Flower Power: Flora in Fashion will grow your appreciation for how the bark, leaves, grasses and seeds around us have been turned into textiles and clothing we use on a daily basis.
