Chelsea Flower Show 08

There are always a few recognisable themes in any year's Chelsea flower show, and this year one of them is fashion.

Susannah Hunter has created a limited edition handbag for the show, and Liberty's Creative Director, Tamara Salman a print for a scarf.

LK Bennett and Jo Malone both designed gardens - the LK Bennett one was nice, but I couldn't get near the Jo Malone garden for all the Chelsea girls with aggressive elbows.

The 2008 Chelsea creative was designed by none other than Manolo Blahnik, who has also created a (very) limited edition of one of the best sellers from his SS08 range, BOGAZICI. Only ten pairs have been made in this special rose print, and they're only on sale at the show.

They're on display in the floral design (that's flower arranging to the likes of you and me) tent in a glass case full of grass.
