This amazingly creative living floral dress from Mattijs van Bergen and Anouk Vogel mixes architecture with creativity and fashion in the form of this living dress.
The dress actually has flowers that are kept alive from the individual vases of water that comprise the dress. The idea is that the living floral dress can stay up to date with fashion trends since the wearer can change the dress' colors by replacing the flowers. What in incredible idea!
