C’est la VIE: September/October 2016

Enchanted Garden Party

Written by Suva Ang-Mendoza and Jordan Staggs | Curated by the VIE Creative Team

Frances Hodgson Burnett said, “If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden”—and we agree! Escape from the stress-filled world to a dreamlike one of flowers, butterflies, and high teas. Welcome to the new take on a classic and romantic theme. Gone are the dainty, frilly florals; this season is ripe with bold patterns, strong pops of color, and structured looks. Come and live in a fantasy with us.
