WILDFLOWER LINEN

Wildflower Linen’s founder Youngsong Martin

to put on her signature fashion show in Beverly Hills

BEVERLY HILLS, California  June 10, 2011 – Youngsong Martin is the veteran high-fashion apparel designer who redefined special-event rental decor after founding Wildflower Linen and introducing the industry to her unique brand of designer table linen and chair covers.

From Arizona to Las Vegas, Young has wowed audiences with her signature runway shows in which she instantaneously transforms her luxurious table linens into haute apparel by deftly draping and pinning them to professional high-fashion models.  Although these impromptu gowns and dresses revert back into designer Wildflower Linen rental items, it doesn’t stop fashionistas from inquiring about purchasing them to wear at their next event.

This weekend, Youngsong will bring her fashion show here to the landmark Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons hotel, on Sunday, June 12, at 3 p.m., when she will unveil Wildflower Linen’s new fall collections of designer fabrics.  While guest enjoy this dazzlingly creative trunk show-style linen extravaganza, they will also enjoy cocktails in the Rodeo Terrace room of the Beverly Wilshire, followed by afternoon tea in the hotel’s Le Grand Trianon room.

Youngsong Martin (Wildflower Linen) & Nikki Khan (Exquisite Events)

Youngsong Martin teamed with Event Planner and Designer, Nikki Khan of Exquisite Events, to come up with an East-meets-West theme to the event, including three different design concepts evoking the Hamptons, Paris and India.  Youngsong’s newest designs in table linens and chair covers will reflect both the diversity and unity of global decor motifs. “We felt the colors and fabric textures will be very eclectic and uniquely of the regions,” she explains of inspirations taken from Long Island’s posh Hamptons resorts, the romance of Parisian glamour and the colorful, timeless drama of Indian culture.

“What we intend to show is how these regions all think alike aesthetically, even though they are so far apart from each other,” Young says. “For example, India and Paris are so different in culture, color sensibility, lifestyle and cuisine, and yet they also somehow reveal in their unique ways that they are more similar than different, and that they have been influencing each other worldwide for centuries.”

The afternoon of cocktails, Wildflower Linen’s fashion show, and tea service is being hosted by Radha Arora, regional vice president and general manager of the Beverly Wilshire, and by wedding and banquet planner-designer Nikki Khan of Exquisite Events.

Creations by Youngsong Martin from previous Wildflower Linen Fashion Shows

The beginning of this month, our team traveled Las Vegas and showcased our newest linen rentals collection at the Catersource/Event Solutions tradeshow.  Check out the video to view highlights from the show.

WILDFLOWER LINEN BOOTH:

For those who went to Catersource / Event Solutions Convention in Las Vegas, NV, it was our pleasure to debut the new “Canvas Collection”; series of fabrics in its raw state that is then transformed into a more feminine linen with the addition of soft tinted tulle and floral appliqué.  Along with this new collection, over 50 additional table linens and chair covers were showcased at this year’s event. 

Why the word canvas?  One definition for canvas means a piece of coarse natural open weave, used as a foundation to create artwork.   The owner and designer, Youngsong Martin, not only wanted to create individual artwork in each piece of  this collection, but she wants you to use these items to paint an even bigger picture in the over all design of your event; create the whole picture by using these simple pieces that can be the foundation that ties the entire look and feel together. 

With today’s society making an effort to be more eco-friendly, so has the designs as well.  Brides are falling in love with romance in the countryside, vineyards, gardens and barn weddings.  But rather than keeping it plain and natural, we’ve added a twists and made it pretty and natural!  These looks have just been created this year, and we look forward to adding a little extra special to your simply natural events.  

Take a look below at some new items we brought to the show, captured by Andy Mars Photography.
