This is a 209 ft long x 7 ft tall mural featuring a series of iconic women throughout different periods of fashion. These notable figures are displayed in a runway format to showcase their memorable outfits. Following these women are an assortment of flowers to mirror their beauty and the personalities of each gown. Flowers are often seen in fashion since they carry a variety of different symbolism such as love or beauty. The type of flowers and colors used for each woman were chosen to capture the character of each piece of fashion.
