Armani Fiori

Snapshots of the floral arrangements on offer at Armani Fiori in Hong Kong the last time I was there… Above, a couple of large lady’s slippers orchids, if I am not mistaken, in a very bright hue of light green…

The store is mostly glass, white walls and abundant light sources. Arrangements are tight and usually single or just a few types of flowers in use with greens to add a sculptural, almost architectural feel. Many of these easily replicable at home with just a little bit of practice… :)

Lots of newly arrived blooms on the counters. Besides a retail business, I suspect the shop does a lot of large arrangements for nearby top-end boutiques and shops, the several Armani clothing boutiques included.

The hardy leaves are in some ways, almost unnaturally contorted, some looked almost “stapled” to keep their shape, though I suspect they just tie the leaves down with some raffia or twine.

How much simpler can this get… get two blooming phaelaenopsis orchids and stick them in a square vase and add some moss…

These almost look like modern bridal bouquets, but I think they are meant for vases in rather modern surroundings, or possibly some posh executive office.

Another take on the same theme…not sure I like this one much at all.

And one last arrangement from the windows of Armani Fiori.

    We sail a lot.. as in sailing, no motor.

  6. Happy birthday MM! May your own butterfly orchids be having bumper-to-bumper flowers ;)))

  7. Happy Birthday! The next time you’re in HKG you might want to check out the flowers at Four Seasons. They’re arranged by the same florists and are a bit larger in scale compared to the ones on display in the shop. Oh and it’s Armani Fiori :)

  8. Jaimie, hahaha, sorry, I just got that now. Thanks. Bad speller. It’s not like the store’s name wasn’t plastered on their door in the second photo. :)

  9. Happy Birthday ! I had been following you for years. You had introduced me to many places and foods. It was from you and Anton’s Awesome planet that I first learn about Salcedo Market. Thanks for all the information.
