From her earliest days, renowned floral designer Julia Rose has been inspired by beauty, creativity and, yes, flowers. In Colour My World, Rose shares those passions through her warm, often whimsical personal stories and glimpses behind the floral design curtain. Born in Australia, Rose fell in love with creativity and art early in her life and throughout formative years of exploration, traipsing through rainforests, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef and strolling along golden beaches. She’s always loved to paint, weave, carve and sculpt, but flowers became her medium of choice. Her lavish floral couture designs have taken over the world’s fashion runways, and her creative public floral installations have inspired joy in others, giving Rose the inspiration she thrives on to continually create. Colour My World captures Julia Rose’s singular approach to floral design – both in stunning images and sweetly told tales – and mixes it with a dash here and there of the colorful, creative life she’s lived thus far. Its pages take you along Rose’s vibrant journey, from her early stomping grounds in Newcastle to worldwide fashion runways, red carpets and festivals and back to her bucolic farm in Australia, where she finds the inspiration to fuel her floral magic.
