though she's often called the "anti-florist"...to me Krislyn is anything but. The Los-Angeles based floral stylist is more like an alchemist with sheers who brings the future forward in full bloom. She interplays floral space and natural matter into a kind of relevancy that's rarely seen in florists and more often seen in cutting edge designers. Think Yoji Yamamoto or Azedeine Alaia and how they transformed fashion with their cuts and sculptural effects with fabric. Krislyn does the same...creating breath-taking works of art. They're pieces that evoke natural transformation with a modern edge. Crystals and driftwood found at the shore dance among...delicate sea fans and shells juxtaposed with luscious feathers, seed pods, and orchids...

From fairy dresses made with golden leaves & blue feathers to mica garlands that give way to nautilus shells lush with crystal trees...Krisyln's designs charge empty spaces with visuals that seem PhotoShopped in from a wild dream....
Perhaps we're finally finding the answer to what happens after the downfall of all that bling - simple crystals handcast onto seed pods remind us that balance is key. Light luxury combined with natural elements bring us home to the true artistry that is found in natural environments.
Krislyn's creations offer us a return to nature with accents from the future of design...if I could fill up my space for spring, I'd take one of everything..... -- STYLE NOMAD 02/08/09
