The famous hat-maker – who has provided
headwear for the Madonna and Lady Gaga – jumped at the chance when he was first
approached by Dutch orchid cultivators.
Orchids are his favorite flower and often a
source of inspiration for my collections, according to the news article.
He’s a thorough chap and invited cultivators
and orchids into his studio, and he was bowled over by their diversity of
colours, shapes and patterns.
He chose the white Phalaenopsis, the blue
Vanda, and the yellow Oncidium as his three sources.
Philip has also been honoured with his own namesake
flower, the Philip Treacy Orchid.
