Conversations at Caramoor: Flowers in Fashion and Music

Flower historian Jill Brooke, author of The Genius of Flowers: What Life’s Most Beautiful Creations Can Teach Us, will share fascinating ways music and fashion—both integral to Caramoor—have been used by famous designers and musicians to tell universal stories of love and family and create lasting connections. Lucie Rosen, whose unique style is on display in this summer’s Inside Lucie’s Wardrobe Focus Tour, was also inspired by nature. Particularly striking is her Flora costume, covered in flowers and inspired by Botticelli’s Primavera. The evening begins with a chance to view dresses and accessories from Inside Lucie’s Wardrobe in the West Corridor and Music Room, followed by a talk by the author on some of the hidden meanings and secrets behind Botticelli’s masterpiece.
