Futuristic Flowers

London department store Harvey Nichols has unveiled window displays created by two Royal College of Art graduates, to coincide with London Fashion Week. (back in 2007)
The seven displays – called Futuristic Flowers – were created by Taiwanese designer Hsiao-Chi Tsai, who graduated from RCA Constructed Textiles course last year; and Japanese artist Kimiya Yoshikawa, who graduated from the RCA Sculpture course.

Harvey Nichols store in Knightsbridge has commissioned two recent Royal College of Art graduates, Hsiao-Chi Tsai and Kimiya Yoshikawa to create seven site-specific sculptural installations for its window display during London Fashion Week.

Both artists use inexpensive materials, but innovatively transform them into extraordinary creations. Tsai uses a unique 3D foam cutting technique to create individual organic, plant-like structures, together with intricate and colourful large-scale floral shapes. In extreme to the bold scale of the main installation, Tsai also produces small-scale pieces for the mannequins to wear as fashion accessories.

I think the window installation is truly futuristic as I believe it can be used even now in 2011 and not look dated. Its bold and colourful aesthetic really captures one's eye but I think the clothes could have complimented the installation better by maybe possibly choosing more robust designs and colours.
