CHELSEA CHEER: What’s the greenest — and possibly the greatest — show on Earth?
The gardening set would argue it’s the Chelsea Flower Show, which runs until Saturday on the vast, verdant grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. And while flowers, plants, trees and creative gardens all take center stage, fashion, luxury and fabrics companies are happy to play supporting role.
Sanderson, the British interiors firm with a Royal Warrant that stretches back more than a century, is showcasing the additions to its Highgrove x Sanderson collection of fabrics, rugs and textile patterns inspired by King Charles’ private home and gardens in Gloucestershire, England.
New patterns on display include The King’s Rose design, inspired by the distinctive fuchsia and white striped flower that David Austin Roses created for the monarch last year. David Austin is the same grower who made a rose for Sir David Beckham’s birthday this year, at the request of Harper Beckham.
Sanderson has blended King Charles’ rose with one of its own designs from the early 1900s featuring branches and butterflies.
