If you were lucky enough to make it to the Fleurs de Villes FEMMES show in Sydney in August this year, you know the calibre of production this team puts on – and just our luck – they are bringing a second show to Australia in 2022 with the Fleurs de Villes NOËL coming to Melbourne this November.
The FEMMES show paid tribute to significant women throughout history, which saw talented florists creating installations celebrating these women in the form of fresh floral mannequins. Over the past 5 years they have created over 56 one-of-a-kind fresh flower shows seen by millions of people in 25 major cities, in 4 countries, and aligned with over 450 of the world’s favourite florists.
Fleurs de Villes NOËL at Emporium Melbourne, will be the Australian premier of their holiday-inspired show, bringing the spirit of the holiday season to life with a fashion forward and opulent twist. Fleurs de Villes are known for their collaborations with talented florists in every city they pop up in, with each participant creating incredible floral works of art for the public to enjoy.
The best news is; they still have a few spots left for their Melbourne show. The team will tell us how to get involved below, keep reading!

Job Specifications
If you are selected, we will assign you a coveted position to design a mannequin. As these installations are supported by sponsors, we will provide you with a brief description to help anchor and inspire the design. We work closely with you to ensure that all objectives are met and a gorgeous work of art is created.
• We provide an honorarium (budget) to cover the cost of flowers and hard goods for your design. Budgets vary depending on the brief.
• Designs must be 100% real botanicals: flowers, branches, foliage etc. Minimal dried and dyed (with approval). No other materials are permitted (ie. ribbon, jewels, sequins, feathers, etc.)
• For mannequin exhibits: each designer will be provided with a mannequin (at minimum) one week before the show. It will go on top of a 5’x5’ raised platform (the surface/top must be incorporated into the design).
• All installations must endure 10 days – you are required to provide a “refresh schedule” for when you plan to check, refresh and maintain your installations.
• Florists are responsible for taking down their mannequin or other installations on the last day of the show, and follow cleaning protocols.
