The Black Rose, or The Art of Flowers. No girls, too bad she doesn’t make crown flowers.
We recently visited Rachel Nina Schwartz, at the place she used to live when she was young in Brentwood,CA.
Rachel is the Owner of The Black Rose, who has created a beautiful and original flower installation at Alfred Coffee for the last couple of weeks.
With a background in art history and a masters in Fashion Design from the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, Rachel was a creative consultant in NY while making flower arrangements as a side job .
She connects design and creating flower arrangements because they share the same elements: color, texture, composition and proportions. The difference is that flowers are alive and last only for a limited time. Their presence is powerful and beautiful.
“It was kind of an accident” she said. Her friends asked her to prepare flowers for their weddings, events and photoshoots.
She moved to LA back in 2013 and had a full time job at some flower studios. She was way more creative independently as the possibility to create something from scratch was difficult working there. Consequently, a month ago, she decided to establish The Black Rose as well as working as a freelance.
Why that name? - It just popped into her head. She “likes an edgier/darker, short and memorable name”. It is also a more classic and timeless approach, not just a trendy name.
The Black Rose is where color, texture, composition, proportions are part of design elements with live flowers. Flowers are temporary but their presence can still be powerful.
She will be changing the Alfred orchid installation flowers every 1-2 weeks.
If you need flowers and are looking for a more edgy vibe …you know who to check out.
