Brand Profile
Internationally acclaimed florist and author Saskia Havekes does not arrange flowers, she curates them; she is always searching for the chance to sculpt savage beauty out of the bounty of nature and the mutability of the seasons. In 1995 Saskia
opened her renowned and famously tiny flower shop, Grandiflora. Collaborating with influential brands and celebrities, styling and designing flowers for events and film, Saskia is a favourite with contemporary fashion designers and her career has
blossomed along side both the Australian and International fashion industries.
Saskia has sought to share her passion for flowers in the publication of four books, Grandiflora, Grandiflora Arrangements, Grandiflora Celebrations and Flower Addict.
Accenting natural beauty, highlighting remarkable events or boldly suggesting wilder ways to arrange flowers and foliage, each book reveals a richer insight into the Grandiflora vision. Forever pushing creative boundaries, 2013 saw the launch of Grandiflora Fragrance. For Saskia ‘the chance as a florist to create a perfume offers the challenge of paying homage to natural beauty in another medium. To re-create and interpret the scent of a flower is rather like telling a story about my passion for the mystery of an elusive flower’.
