The neighborhood of Hudson Yards is well-known for its modern architecture, filled to the brim with high-rise skyscrapers and housing sculptures such as the Edge. However, Hudson Yards has taken a greener turn with its recent exhibit Fleurs de Villes: FEMMES that was showcased from Oct. 7-16 at the Shops at Hudson Yards.
Fleurs de Villes uses all shapes and sizes of flowers to create art. With mannequins towering about 16 feet tall each, FEMMES is a tribute to inspirational women throughout history, ranging from Queen Elizabeth II to Fanny Brice, whose lives and legacies have had a vast impact on the world. It is a traveling exhibit and previously, this exhibit has been on display in cities such as Costa Mesa, Miami and Chicago.
