The Best Costume
The Best Costume
The Best Costume is a narrative-led mixed media piece inspired by the quiet theatrical world of Grey Gardens. Created on a shaped wooden board, the piece is designed to resemble a folded kimono—merging fashion, object, and painting into a single sculptural form.
The surface is richly layered with vintage imagery, patterned fragments, and textured collage, evoking textiles, interiors, and personal histories. At its centre, a female figure appears composed yet introspective—suggesting identity as something assembled, worn, and performed.
The handwritten phrase “This is the best costume for today” becomes both statement and metaphor. It reflects the idea of dressing as a daily ritual—where clothing becomes expression, protection, and transformation.
Warm tones of ochre, rust, blush, and deep navy create a nostalgic palette, while contrasting patterns introduce rhythm and visual tension.
Part of the Unscripted Style collection, The Best Costume explores fashion beyond trend—where garments carry memory, and identity is constructed through fragments of the past.

Care Instructions
Find A Vase
Find a suitable clean vase, fill with fresh water and the flower food provided then add your flowers making sure all of the leaves are removed that are below the waterline and enjoy.
Remember to clean your vase, this can be done with a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for sparking results.
Trim Your Stems
Remove the lower clear packaging over a sink (leave the top of your flowers wrapped if you prefer) keeping your flowers tied as they have been expertly arranged for you by our floral designers. Cut 3-5cm off the ends of your stems at a diagonal.
Find The Right Home
Flowers are just like us, they don't like to be too hot or too cold. Keep them off windowsills, away from direct sunlight, drafts and away from radiators.
Flowers and fruit aren’t always best friends so keep them away from your bananas and apples as they can give off gasses that flowers don’t like.
Please take care to display your flowers by not placing them on surfaces that may mark easily. Use a protective mat if necessary.
Change The Water
Flowers love clean water so remember to change the water and add new flower food every 2-3 days. Flowers get thirsty, so check your stems are always below the waterline. Certain flowers will last longer than others so remove older looking flowers as this will ensure that the other stems will keep on blooming.
Caring For Your Arrangement
If your flowers are made in floral foam within a hatbox, ceramic pot, vase or similar please check the water level and top up daily or as required.
Important Note
Some flowers and plants can be harmful if consumed, lilies in particular can be harmful to cats. Care should also be taken to keep all flowers, plants and foliage out of the reach of children and animals. Please take care to display your flowers by not placing them on surfaces that may mark easily. Use a protective mat if necessary.
