This week, Elyse and Laurent catch up about the coming Oscar season and sit down with Mo Helmi, fashion designer-turned-landscape artist who finds the relationship between the natural world and the fashion world to be a symbiotic exchange of inspiration. While fashion designers have often pulled inspiration from florals, textures, and silhouettes found in nature, Mo Helmi invites the reverse as well. The TriCoastal Scapes founder seeks inspiration from the runway and a client's own sense of style and transposing it to their outdoor areas and gardens. From unexpected inspirations, to Urban Greening and creating a future that combines beauty, technology, and natural greening, this conversation travels far beyond your own back garden.
